The Shakthi Batik Guppy is absolutely stunning with its metallic patterns and flowing fins. I’ve had it for three months in a 20-liter planted tank, and it’s very active and healthy. The coloration is vibrant and stands out well among other fish.

Beautiful fish with unique design. I bought it as a centerpiece for my aquarium. It’s not aggressive and does well in a community tank with compatible species. Needs a stable environment, which I already have.
