is a selectively bred variety of Poecilia reticulata known for its striking wild-type markings and dramatic finnage.
Physical Appearance
Coloration: These guppies typically feature a vibrant yellow or orange base color. Some newer strains may also display metallic blue or magenta highlights on the body.
Tiger Patterning: The "tiger" name comes from the bold, dark vertical stripes or mosaic-like spots that run along the body and into the fins.
Halfmoon Tail: Their most defining feature is the halfmoon-shaped tail, which is broad, symmetrical, and can open to a full 180-degree fan when flared.
Fins: In addition to the large tail, they often have elongated, flowing dorsal fins that match the tiger-stripe or mosaic pattern
