The Tuxedo Koi Male Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a spectacular livebearer combining two of the hobby's most beloved guppy styles — the bold tuxedo body pattern with the irregular, multi-coloured koi-like patterning across the tail. The result is a fish that looks like a miniature koi pond in motion, with patches of red, orange, black, and white flowing behind it as it swims.
