Description
The Albino Koi Red Ear Ribbon Guppy is best known for its distinctive fin genetics, which produce longer, wavier fin edges than a standard guppy, giving the dorsal and caudal fins a soft, rippled “ribbon” outline as the fish swims. Combined with its bold black and red-orange koi-style body patching over a pale albino base, this strain stands out both for its pattern and its flowing fin shape.
Because the ribbon fin trait affects fin growth rather than colour, individual fish can carry a wide range of body patterns while still showing the same soft, wavy fin edges that define the strain. The result is a fish that moves differently in the water compared to standard-finned guppies, with the fins trailing in gentle waves rather than holding a stiff, flat shape.
Every Albino Koi Red Ear Ribbon 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 Ribbon Guppy in a well-cycled aquarium of at least 10 gallons with a heater set between 24-27°C and gentle filtration. Because the ribbon fin trait makes the fins slightly more delicate than standard fins, calm water flow and smooth decor help prevent fin damage.
A varied diet of high-quality flake, live or frozen baby brine shrimp, and occasional Larviva Mysis supports strong fin growth and steady breeding across generations. Because the ribbon trait is a fin-shape mutation rather than a colour pattern, breeding this strain with standard-finned guppies will dilute the wavy fin trait in the fry.
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.
