Dumbo Ear Guppy Care Guide
Poecilia reticulata var. Dumbo Ear · Freshwater Fish
What Dumbo Ear Guppy look like
Dumbo Ear Guppies are domestic guppies selected for enlarged pectoral fins. Males usually show brighter color and more ornate fins than females.
Behavior & temperament
Peaceful and best kept with calm tank mates. Enlarged pectoral fins make them more vulnerable to nipping and strong current than plain guppies.
Diet & feeding
Dumbo Ear Guppies are omnivores. Feed fine flakes, micro pellets, daphnia, baby brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, bloodworms, and algae-based foods.
Behind the name
Dumbo Ear describes the enlarged rounded pectoral fins.
Plan your tank
Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
