The Yellow Short Body Glass Belly Guppy is a truly unique selectively bred guppy variety prized for its compact body shape, vibrant yellow coloration, and partially translucent “glass belly” appearance. This eye-catching livebearer brings both personality and conversation-starting visual appeal to planted freshwater aquariums.

Its shorter body profile combined with bright coloration creates a distinctive ornamental look that stands out beautifully in nano aquariums and planted community setups. Despite its unusual appearance, this variety maintains the active behavior, peaceful temperament, and hardy nature that make guppies such popular aquarium fish worldwide.

This tank-bred variety is available as individual males, individual females, or as a compatible breeding pair consisting of one male and one female.
