Description
The Albino Koi Red Ear Guppy is a striking tri-tone strain that combines a pale albino body with bold black and red-orange patches, echoing the classic colouring of ornamental koi carp. The red-orange patch concentrated near the gills and “ears” gives the strain its name, while irregular black blotches break up the pale body for a marbled, one-of-a-kind pattern on every fish.
Because the black and red patches form randomly during development, no two Albino Koi Red Ear guppies are marked exactly alike, which is part of the appeal for collectors who enjoy unique, individual-looking fish. The red-toned albino eyes add a further soft contrast against the black and orange body patches.
Every Albino Koi Red Ear Guppy from Classic Guppy is home-bred in Pune, never wild-caught, and raised on live baby brine shrimp for strong colour development and healthy fins. Orders ship in insulated, heat-packed boxes with a live arrival guarantee, and you can choose a single pair, a trio, or a proven breeding pair.

Keep the Albino Koi Red Ear Guppy in a well-cycled aquarium of at least 10 gallons with a heater set between 24-27°C and gentle filtration. Because albino strains lack dark eye pigment, moderate lighting without harsh direct glare helps them settle in and show off the koi-style patching at its best.
A varied diet of high-quality flake, live or frozen baby brine shrimp, and occasional Larviva Mysis keeps the red-orange patches vivid and supports steady breeding across generations. Because the koi pattern is not fixed genetically, fry from this strain can show a wide range of black and red patch combinations.
Tip: Guppies are shoaling fish and settle in best with company – a trio or a proven breeding pair is a great starting point for a lively, well-settled shoal.
