Half Black White Pastel Guppy

Elegant in its simplicity, the Half Black White Pastel guppy looks like the type of guppy you would find in Lady Mary’s room at Downton Abbey.
 
The distinctive two-tone coloration gives softly tinted pastel whites or creamy shades on the head and and front half of the body, transitioning abruptly into deep, rich black hues over the back half of the body and tail. The best strains are characterized by a clean division between the lighter pastel coloration and the solid black rear portion, often devoid of intricate scale patterns or designs.
