Yellow King Tiger Cobra Guppies combine bright yellow coloration with intricate, contrasting cobra-style markings. Their patterned bodies and colorful fins create an eye-catching display against green plants and darker aquarium backgrounds.

These active livebearers add movement and personality to peaceful community aquariums. Males typically show the strongest coloration and most detailed patterning, while females are generally larger and more subtly colored.

Bred by Legacy Line Aquatics

We breed and raise these guppies ourselves in Owensboro, Kentucky. Our breeding groups and their offspring receive attentive daily care, consistent maintenance, and varied feeding.

Quality prepared foods and live baby brine shrimp support growth, body condition, and development as the fish mature.

Temperament & Behavior

Yellow King Tiger Cobra Guppies are peaceful, social livebearers that bring steady activity to the upper and middle levels of the aquarium. Males display their patterned bodies and fins while courting females.

They are suitable for peaceful community aquariums. In mixed-sex groups, aim for approximately one male to every two to three females to distribute male attention.

Feeding

Yellow King Tiger Cobra Guppies are omnivores. A varied diet supports growth, body condition, and fin development.

Recommended foods:

High-quality tropical flakes and micro pellets
Live baby brine shrimp
Frozen brine shrimp and daphnia
Vegetable-based flakes or small pellets
Occasional frozen bloodworms as a supplemental treat

Offer small meals and avoid leaving excess food in the aquarium. Feed fry suitably small foods in several modest portions throughout the day.

Breeding

Females give birth to free-swimming fry. Fine-leaved plants, moss, and floating plant roots provide shelter, although adults may still eat young.

A separate grow-out aquarium improves protection. Keep this variety separate from other guppy strains when preserving its characteristics.

They Do Best in Tanks With:

Gentle to moderate filtration and flow
Plants and sheltered areas
Open space for swimming and displaying
Stable, mineral-rich water
A fully cycled filter
A secure aquarium lid
