The Super Platinum Guppy is a radiant variety of Poecilia reticulata, known for its shimmering golden-white body and subtle metallic iridescence. This variety is bred in-house at Aquatic Arts for exceptional health, coloration, and adaptability. With their peaceful nature, graceful fins, and reflective glow, these guppies are perfect for planted aquariums, nano tanks, and community setups.
What We Like About This Fish:
• Elegant Golden-White Shine: A soft, lustrous coloration that stands out in any aquascape
• Hardy and Adaptable: Bred for strength and tolerance to a range of water conditions
• Peaceful and Social: A calm, active addition to most community tanks
• Bred by Aquatic Arts: Responsibly raised in-house with care and consistency
Aquascaping:
These guppies thrive in planted tanks with ample hiding places, gentle flow, and natural enrichment.
Plants: Java Moss, Hornwort, Anubias, Amazon Sword
Hardscape: Smooth driftwood, lava rock, nano caves for resting and breeding
Floating Plants: Frogbit, Duckweed, or Red Root Floater for shaded cover
Botanicals: Enhance the habitat with Indian Almond Leaves, Alder Cones, or our Botanical Combo Pack—a curated mix designed to promote natural behavior, provide grazing surfaces for fry and shrimp, and support overall fish health by releasing beneficial tannins.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
