🐟Guppy

Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859

Živorodka duhová (zast. Lebistes reticulatus; nově: Poecilia reticulata), známá též jako paví očko nebo gupka, je drobná sladkovodní až brakická paprskoploutvá ryba z čeledi živorodkovitých (Poeciliidae). Díky své nenáročnosti a temperamentnosti je jednou z nejoblíbenějších akvarijních ryb, vhodnou pro naprosté začátečníky. Přivykne si dokonce i na čistě mořskou vodu. Lidový název „paví oko/očko“ je odvozen od charakteristické kresby divokých forem. Její starší název „gupka“ (z ang. Guppy) pochází od příjmení anglického vědce Roberta Johna Lechmere Guppyho (1836–1916).
