Available In So Many Colors, These Are 5 Expensive Guppy Fish Worldwide!

The guppy fish that is also known as millionfish and also rainbow fish is actually one of the world’s most widely distributed tropical fish and one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species. Guppies originate from northeast South America, but have been introduced to many environments and are now found all over the world. Based on observation, they are highly adaptable and thrive in different environmental and ecological conditions.

Male guppies, which are smaller than females, have ornamental caudal and dorsal fins. Wild guppies generally feed on a variety of food sources, including benthic algae and aquatic insect larvae. Guppies are used as a model organism in the ecology fields, evolution, and behavioral studies. For those who do not know, these are the 5 most expensive guppies.

1) Fancy Guppies

Some strains of fancy guppies like the multi delta are in high demand and because of this, you can expect to pay anything from US$25 to US$50 (RM105 to RM210) per fish. The fancy guppies are actually the favorite type of guppy for many people because of the wide variety of colors from guppy to guppy.

2) Dragon Guppy

The price you can expect to pay for a dragon guppy is around US$10 (RM42). This type of guppy is easy to locate which makes purchasing one much easier and drives the price down as a result. Many people bread these fish as they are very popular with fish keepers.

3) Purple Moscow Guppies

There are some rare strains of purple Moscow guppies that will be really hard to find.  You can expect to pay a total of US$40 to US$100 (RM167 to RM418) per fish if they are a rare strain. For a non-rare strain, these will cost from US$30 (RM125). The color of these guppies is completely different from your common guppies which is the main reason for the high price.

4) Electric Blue Guppy

The price for an electric blue guppy starts at US$15 (RM63) and usually does not go above US$25 (RM105).  There are fewer strains of this type of guppy so the price range will not vary as much as other guppies due to this.

5) Mutt Guppy
