Poecilia reticulata var.
Also known as: Full Gold Female Guppy, Gold Female Guppy
Origin: Captive bred
The Full Gold Female Guppy is selected from gold and metallic yellow show strains, displaying warm golden colouration that extends across the body. This level of colour expression in a female is unusual and indicates strong genetic coding for the gold trait, ensuring male offspring inherit vibrant metallic yellow tones.
For breeders working with gold, yellow, or metallic guppy strains, using properly selected gold females is critical to maintaining and improving colour expression over generations.
These females are robust, easy to care for, and breed prolifically, making them a low-maintenance but genetically valuable addition to any breeding programme.
Water: 22–28 °C, pH 7.0–8.0, GH 8–20; consistent mineral hardness supports gold expression. Tank: 60 L minimum; plants for fry cover; avoid over-crowding. Feeding: Quality flake, spirulina, frozen foods; varied diet maintains reproductive health. Breeding: Livebearer; 20–60 fry per brood; gold trait is strongly heritable in quality lines. Compatibility: Peaceful community fish.
