The Black Dumbo Male Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a sleek and dramatic livebearer featuring the distinctive oversized pectoral fins of the Dumbo trait paired with a deep, velvety black body and tail. The all-black colouration gives this variety a bold, sophisticated look that contrasts beautifully against bright green aquarium plants, making it a striking centrepiece in any planted tank.
