The Dumbo Santa Claus Short Body Guppy Fish combines festive red-and-light coloration with oversized Dumbo-style pectoral fins and a compact Short Body profile. The enlarged side fins create graceful movement around the fish, while the shorter, fuller body concentrates the color and gives this variety a noticeably different silhouette from the standard Dumbo Santa Claus Guppy.
This variety fits naturally within our Premium Dumbo Ear Guppies , where oversized pectoral fins are the defining visual trait. The Dumbo Santa Claus Short Body adds another layer to that signature look by combining the familiar red-and-light color direction with a shorter, more compact body shape.
The defining character of the Dumbo Santa Claus Short Body Guppy Fish comes from the interaction between three prominent traits. Oversized Dumbo pectoral fins extend outward from the body and create extra movement, red-and-light coloration provides the recognizable Santa Claus look, and the Short Body profile makes the fish appear more compact and full. Together, these traits create a different visual balance from standard-bodied Dumbo Guppies.
For the closest comparison, explore the Dumbo Santa Claus Guppy Fish , which keeps the same Dumbo fin trait and red-and-light color direction with a more traditional body profile. You can also compare the Dumbo Red Tail Guppy Fish for another expression of oversized Dumbo pectoral fins, or the Full Gold 24K Short Body Guppy Fish to compare the Short Body trait in a completely different solid-gold color family.
Natural variation can occur between individual Dumbo Santa Claus Short Body Guppies. Fish may differ in red intensity, light body coloration, pattern placement, pectoral-fin size, body proportions, tail shape, dorsal development, and overall finnage. Age, genetics, aquarium lighting, shipping stress, and tank conditions can also influence how strongly these characteristics appear. Product photos should be viewed as a representation of the variety unless an individual fish is specifically offered for selection.

Everything you need to help your new Guppies settle in, stay healthy, and thrive in your aquarium.
Avoid chasing exact numbers with sudden water chemistry changes. A mature, cycled aquarium with stable parameters is generally safer than frequent rapid adjustments.
Provide a fully cycled, filtered aquarium with plenty of open swimming space. Live plants can provide cover, visual barriers, and a more natural environment.
Guppies are omnivores. Offer a varied diet rather than relying on only one food source.
Guppies are active social fish and generally do well with other peaceful community species when tank size and water requirements are compatible.
Clean, stable water is one of the most important parts of Guppy care. Test the aquarium regularly and perform appropriate routine maintenance.
Preparing the aquarium before delivery helps reduce unnecessary stress when your new fish arrives.
Make sure the aquarium is established and biologically cycled before adding new fish.
Check temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate before delivery day.
Confirm filtration is running properly and provide plants or other appropriate cover.
Be available around delivery whenever possible so the fish can be brought indoors and acclimated promptly.
Important: Male Guppies may frequently pursue females. If keeping males and females together, provide adequate space, plant cover, and an appropriate group structure. Guppies are livebearers and can reproduce readily in suitable conditions.
Maintain a stable temperature around 72–82°F and a pH around 6.8–7.8.
Ammonia and nitrite should remain at 0 ppm. Monitor nitrate and perform routine water changes appropriate for your aquarium's stocking level and filtration.
Avoid making large, sudden adjustments to temperature or water chemistry. Stable conditions are especially important for newly introduced fish.
Feed small portions of high-quality foods that your Guppies can consume within a short period. Avoid allowing large amounts of uneaten food to accumulate in the aquarium.
A varied diet may include quality micro pellets, flakes, brine shrimp, daphnia, and other appropriately sized foods.
Guppies generally work best with peaceful, appropriately sized community fish that have compatible water requirements.
Potential tank mates may include peaceful Corydoras, compatible small community fish, and suitable aquarium snails. Compatibility can vary depending on aquarium size, stocking, individual behavior, and water conditions.
Guppies are livebearers and can reproduce readily. Male Guppies may frequently pursue females, so mixed-sex groups require adequate space, cover, and thoughtful group management.
If you do not want fry, consider keeping a same-sex group instead of intentionally mixing males and females.
Bring the shipment indoors promptly after delivery. Keep aquarium lighting low and avoid unnecessary handling while the fish is adjusting.
Gradually acclimate the fish to the aquarium's temperature and water conditions. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or chemistry.
Once introduced, allow the fish time to settle before feeding heavily or disturbing the aquarium.
Newly shipped Guppies can temporarily appear pale, less active, or stressed after transit. Color and activity may improve as the fish adjusts to stable aquarium conditions.
Observe new arrivals carefully. If you notice persistent abnormal behavior or other concerns, check water parameters and document the fish and aquarium conditions.
These care recommendations are general guidelines. Aquarium size, stocking level, filtration, genetics, age, individual behavior, and local water chemistry can affect the needs of your fish.
Arrive safe and healthy!!! After a few hours in the tank they looked even better. All alive, eating the same night, no problems so far. Definitely coming back for another strain.
These little guys came in looking GOOD. I expected them to lose most of their color from shipping but several males were already showing bright tails right out of the bag.
Ordered because I wanted some brighter fish for my 40 gallon community tank. These definitely did the job. The white and red colors really pop against the plants. Every fish arrived alive and after quarantine they went into the main tank with zero issues. Great little guppies for the price.
Really impressed with the size and quality. They look much nicer than the guppies at my local pet store.
Super bright colors after they settled in. Everyone arrived safe and swimming normally.
First time ordering guppies online and it went great. Healthy fish with amazing tails.
One fish was pretty stressed and hiding for the first day. Now he’s active and has great color.
Two fish arrived DOA, but the rest looked healthy and colorful. The surviving fish are doing really well now.
