Buy Guppy Fish Online in India

Shipped All India

Breeder Quality Guppies,
Delivered To Your Door

Four to six day delivery · Live arrival guarantee · Train delivery on request

We breed guppies in Pune and send them out across India as pairs. Every fish on this page came out of our own tanks, was raised on live baby brine shrimp from the first week, and grew out here before it was listed. That is the difference you are paying for when you buy from a breeder instead of a reseller.

Delivery takes four to six days to most of the country. Every box goes out with a live arrival guarantee, and if something does not make it, we replace it.

Why buy from the breeder instead of a reseller

Most guppies sold online in India pass through three hands before they reach you. A farm produces them in bulk, a wholesaler moves them, and a store lists them. Nobody in that chain fed the fish for eight months or culled the weak ones, and nobody can tell you what it ate. We can, because we bred it. Here is what that difference looks like in practice.

Raised on live baby brine shrimp and imported feeds

Colour, body depth and fin size in a guppy are decided in the first two months. A fry raised on crushed flake never catches up, whatever you feed it afterwards. Ours hatch and go straight onto live baby brine shrimp, hatched fresh here every day, then move on to Otohime and NRD as they grow out. Both are imported feeds and both cost several times what local flake costs.

• Live baby brine shrimp from week one, hatched daily, never frozen
• Otohime for growth and body depth through the juvenile stage
• NRD for colour density, which is what makes a red stay red instead of fading to orange
• Vegetable matter once or twice a week so the gut stays clean and the fish do not bloat

Fin quality is checked before anything is bagged

Every fish is looked at on its own before it goes into a bag. A split caudal, a clamped dorsal, a nipped edge or a bent spine means the fish does not ship, even if it is the last one of that strain and someone is waiting on it. We would rather ask you to wait a week than send a pair that disappoints you the moment the bag opens.

Guppy fish price list

Each price is for one pair, one male and one female of the same strain. Shipping is calculated at checkout once you enter your pin code.

The full range with photographs is on the shop page. What is in stock today is what has already grown out, so the list changes through the month.

How the fish actually travel

Each pair goes into a breather bag with fresh water and oxygen. The bag goes into an insulated box with packing around it so the temperature holds steady and the bag cannot roll. We pack on the morning of dispatch, not the night before, so nothing sits bagged overnight before the journey even starts.

Once the box leaves, we send you the tracking on WhatsApp and stay on that thread until you tell us the fish are in the tank. If a courier delay shows up in tracking, we would rather hear about it from you early than after the box has been sitting at a hub for two days.

Delivery time by region

• Pune city: within 24 hours when the strain is in stock, no courier involved
• Maharashtra and neighbouring states: usually the faster end of the four to six day window
• Rest of India: four to six days depending on how far your pin code is from a hub
• By train: we can book the box to your nearest railway station if you would rather collect it yourself. Ask for this before you pay so we can arrange it.

What the packing actually is

• Breather bag sized to the fish, not a one size poly bag, with fresh water and pure oxygen
• Double bagged so a single puncture does not end the trip
• Insulated box with packing around the bag so temperature holds and nothing rolls
• Fasted for a day before packing so the bag water stays clean through four days in transit
• Packed on the morning of dispatch, never the night before

The live arrival guarantee, in plain words

If a fish arrives dead, we replace it at no cost. To claim it, record an unedited video that starts before you open the box and keeps running until the bag is opened and the fish are clearly visible. Do not cut it, do not start filming after the bag is open, and do not take the fish out first.

The reason is simple. Once a fish has been netted into a tank there is no way for anyone to tell whether it died in transit or in the first hour at home. The video removes the argument entirely, and it means we can settle your claim in one message. Full terms are on the shipping page.

What to do the day the box arrives

• Open the box in a room with the lights low. Four days in a dark bag makes bright light stressful.
• Float the sealed bag in your tank for twenty minutes so the temperature evens out.
• Open the bag and add a small cup of your tank water every ten minutes for the next half hour.
• Net the fish across. Throw the bag water away rather than pouring it into your tank.
• Leave the light off for the rest of the day and do not feed until the next morning. A guppy that has not eaten for four days will still be fine skipping one more meal.
• Expect them to sit low and pale for a day. Colour usually comes back by the second morning.

If anything looks off in the first week, message us with a short video. We have seen most of it before and will tell you what to do rather than selling you something.

Two years is a normal lifespan for our guppies

Most guppies bought locally in India are dead inside six months, and people conclude that guppies are just short lived fish. They are not. A well bred guppy on steady water and real food lives around two years, and ours regularly do. Strain matters, but husbandry matters more, and that part is entirely in your hands.

After sales support, for as long as you keep them

Buying the fish is the easy part. The questions start about four days later, and that is when most sellers stop replying. Message us on WhatsApp any time about your tank and we will answer, whether it is a week after delivery or a year later. There is no charge and you do not have to buy anything.

• How many should I keep? Tell us the tank size and we will give you a number, not a sales answer.
• What size tank do I need? One pair is fine in a one foot tank. Two feet if you want to raise the fry.
• Something looks wrong. Send a short video. We have seen most of it and will tell you what to do before you start dosing medicine at random.
• What do I feed, and how often? We will tell you exactly what we feed and what a workable home version costs.
• She dropped fry, now what? We will walk you through the first fortnight.

Everything we have written on keeping guppies alive

We have covered this from A to Z on the blog, so you are not left guessing after the box arrives. These are the guides worth reading in your first month.

Ordering

You can order straight from the shop, or send us your list on WhatsApp and we will confirm what is ready before you pay. The second option is worth using if you want more than two or three pairs, because we can tell you which strains are strong right now instead of you guessing from photographs.

There is no minimum order. One pair ships the same way a dozen does.

Buying guppies online without getting burned

A few things worth checking on any seller, including us.

• Ask for a photo of the actual fish. Anyone can post an imported show photo. A breeder can send you a phone video of the pair in a bare tank in two minutes.
• Ask what the fish is fed. Colour and body size come from feeding, not from luck. If the answer is only flake, expect the fish to look thinner than the listing photo.
• Ask what happens if it dies. A guarantee with no conditions written down is usually a guarantee that gets argued about later.
• Be careful in peak summer. Long transit in May is harder on fish than the same trip in December. We will tell you if we think your route is risky that week rather than shipping anyway.

Common questions

How long does delivery take?

Four to six days for most of India. In Pune, in-stock orders arrive within 24 hours – same day if you order before 11:30 AM. The exact time depends on how far your pin code sits from the nearest courier hub.

What does shipping cost?

It is calculated at checkout once you enter your pin code, so you see it before you pay.

Is there a minimum order?

No. One pair is a perfectly normal order.

Do the fish come as pairs?

Yes, one male and one female per pair. Some listings also carry male only and female only options when we have spares.

Will they breed after shipping?

Give them two to three weeks to settle. Females often arrive already carrying, so it is common to find fry before you were expecting them.

Can I collect from the railway station instead?

Yes, ask for train delivery before you pay and we will book it to your nearest station.

Which strain should I order first?

If it is your first order, take one pair of something at ₹200 and see how the shipping goes to your address. Once you know the route works, order the strain you actually want.

States and cities we ship guppies to

We send live guppies across mainland India. The list below is where our boxes go most often, grouped by region. Metros usually land at the faster end of the four to six day window because they sit closer to a courier hub, and smaller towns take a day or two longer.

Not on the list? It almost certainly still works. Send us your pin code on WhatsApp and we will tell you the transit time before you pay.

For Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, the hill states in winter, the north east beyond Guwahati, and the island territories, ask us first. Long transit at those temperatures is hard on fish and we would rather talk it through than ship and hope.

If you are in Pune, skip the courier entirely. Delivery timings and pickup details are on the Pune page.

Not sure yet?

Tell us your city, your tank size and what you like the look of. We will suggest a pair and tell you straight if something is not ready to travel this week.

Want a strain that is out of stock? Send us the name and we will message you the day it is back.
