Guppies V Fancy Guppies

[JL94x4]

Whats the difference?

 

[Neptune54]

Fancy guppies have brilliant colors, while regular guppies are mostly gray and are sometimes used as feeder fish.

 

[snazy]

Fancy guppies are the result of years of selective breeding of the not so colourful normal guppies to develop a particilar "fancy" colour/strain.

What are most common in LFS such as PetsAtHome?

 

[Neptune54]

Sorry, I've never heard of PetsAtHome, but all of my LFS carry a lot of fancy guppies and only a few regular ones, if at all.

P&H usually have fancy guppies in a lot of different colours.
Not all P&H stores are bad, I've bought fish from them & never had a problem

The only guppies that I ever see in a pet shop these days is "fancy" guppies. I have not seen a wild type guppy in a pet shop since I kept fish back in the 1960s. P. reticulata, the true wild guppy, is never seen in any LFS that I am aware of.
