Coral Double Sword Fancy Guppies (**Poecilia reticulata** var. “Coral Double Sword”) are an eye-catching selectively bred variant of fancy guppies, celebrated by enthusiasts for their warm, glowing coral-red (or coral-pink/purple) body coloration paired with the distinctive double sword tail shape that extends elegant, elongated upper and lower rays for a sleek, streamlined, and dynamic appearance in the aquarium.

Unlike standard roundtail or delta-tailed guppies, the Double Sword variant features a forked caudal fin with prominent, narrow extensions resembling swords—one projecting upward and one downward—creating graceful, flowing movement as the fish swim. High-grade Coral Double Sword specimens showcase a rich, saturated coral hue that spans the body, often with a subtle metallic or iridescent sheen (sometimes influenced by underlying genetics like Emerald Green Iridescent or blond factors), giving them a soft yet vibrant tropical glow that intensifies under proper lighting. The swords themselves may carry matching coral tones or contrasting accents, while females in quality lines can display softer coral-pink bodies and even show some sword extension, though less pronounced than in males.

These peaceful, lively livebearers reach an adult size of about 1.5–2 inches (3.8–5 cm), with males typically smaller, more vividly colored, and sporting the full dramatic sword fins, while females are slightly larger and rounder. They have a lifespan of 2–3 years under optimal conditions and are active mid-to-upper level swimmers that add constant motion and energy to the tank.
Coral Double Sword Fancy Guppies are enthusiastic omnivores, readily consuming algae, biofilm, flake food, micro-pellets, and occasional live or frozen treats like brine shrimp, helping keep the aquarium tidy while staying healthy and vibrant. They’re prolific breeders in stable freshwater environments, producing generous broods of fry that often inherit the striking coral color and sword traits when selectively bred.

Beginner-to-intermediate friendly, they do best in community setups with stable water parameters (pH 6.8–7.8, temperature 72–82°F / 22–28°C), abundant plants, driftwood or decor for cover, and open areas to display their elegant sword tails. A varied, nutrient-rich diet supports fin health and color intensity.
Overall, Coral Double Sword Fancy Guppies are an excellent pick for aquarists desiring warm, sunset-like hues, sophisticated tail elegance, and spirited activity in a freshwater tank — offering standout beauty with straightforward care demands.
