Better to go through an individual than a company when you want a specific gender/ratio. Aquabid and ebay are my go-to for most online fish shopping. Aquahuna is the only company I have had decent luck with.

I haven't posted them yet, but I have gold guppies, dumbo mosaic guppies, and a few mutts. Send me a message if you're interested.

I need 4 males to add to my current guppy group. I do want some pretty ones, but so far all the pretty ones are sold in pairs. I really like koi, Dumbo, really anything with color, mosaic too. I'm on website jmaldo linked above now

Pwilly07 ProudPapa did you guys send pics of the guppies you have? For some reason i can't see them on this thread anymore. I saw a glimpse of guppies pics and then they disappeared from this thread. Thanks again :)

Of the stores aquahuna has pretty cheap shipping ($12.99) and (for mail order) liberal DOA policy. Just be aware they frequently ship very young fishes - the good is they will live a longer time - the bad is it will take a bit of time for them to grow out all the colours.

I went on their website and they least they sell is 8 male guppies, I needed 4 only. Also was so looking for a mix and not all the same breed. I heard great things about aquahuna, too bad they don't sell them in smaller groups

Yea that is another negative. They tend to sell groups - depending on species. Sounds like best bet is Pwilly07 or ProudPapa both are reliable.

What ebay sellers do you know that are reputable?

Yes I think I'll have great luck with them cause they are each willing to sell me 4 male guppies.

On ebay one seller that i've worked with before is whataguppy_7; if he has what you want but not the right combination you can contact him and he will likely be willing to put together a custom package.

I would suggest looking at some of our forum members who breed guppies.

As for shipping costs, those are set by the shipping companies. If you are very close to the shipping source, the cost will not be too bad. If you are 3000 miles away, to guarantee safe delivery, the fish will have to be shipped by express delivery in 1-2 days and that can cost many times the cost of the fish. Thus, try to obtain your guppies from someone who lives close to you.

Yes that makes sense why websites like aquarium arts charged $75 shipping rate lol, they probably too far from me.

Sure. That message thread would probably be better than on this discussion.

Here's some for you!!
Those are supposed to be 24K gold guppies but some of the pictures are super blurry. I'm sorry about that. Others are ivory blue mosaics. I have some wild endler guppies, but they are hard to photograph. They're cheaper than the 24K gold and the mosaics.

You know i always find taking pictures of guppies difficult. I have this one absolutely stunning male (it is a mutt mix from over the years) that has an absolutely stunning yellow tail with a almost cobra green body. Pity it is the only one (no clue why the tail ended up yellow. Sorry for the off topic but when I saw you pictures it reminded me why i gave up trying to take pictures of my guppies. I need to get a chair for them so they stop constantly moving.

These seem much better!!
