The meaning and nonsense of commercial names for guppys is a matter of debate. But there is no doubt that the so-called Guppy Tricolor Cobra is a truly colorful guppy. To some, the term “colorful guppy” may seem like a pleonasm, like “white gray horse” or “cold ice.” Of course, guppys are almost always very colorful. But that refers to the overall impression of the fish.
With the Guppy Tricolor Cobra, the uneven coloring is the actual breeding goal. Each of the males looks as if an experimental child had tried out the new paint box; hardly any two specimens are completely alike. Particularly attractive are the diverse body colors. Colorful body colors are not that common in guppys, or even desirable. Many breeds are deliberately bred with black bodies, for example, in order to bring out the luminosity of the tail fin.
