noun
zoology
A small, live-bearing freshwater fish, brightly colored in the male, that is popular in home aquariums.
The guppy is native to shallow streams and pools in Venezuela, the Caribbean and northern South America, and it breeds easily in captivity, producing live young rather than eggs. Because of its bright colors and hardy nature, the guppy is one of the most widely kept fish among casual aquarium owners. Male guppies display much brighter patterns than females, which are larger and plainer. Breeders have produced hundreds of guppy varieties with different fin shapes and colors.
