🐟Guppy

Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859

구피(영어: guppy [ˈɡʌpi] 거피[*],학명: Poecilia reticulata)는 전세계에 널리 분포하고 있는 난태생 열대어이다. 남아메리카 북동쪽의 담수 또는 기수 지역이 원산지이나 관상용이나 생물적 방제를 이유로 많은 나라에 도입되었고 현재는 전세계적으로 찾아볼 수 있다. 적응력이 뛰어나 다양한 환경적이나 생태적 조건 아래에서 살 수 있다. 수컷이 암컷보다 크기가 작다. 수컷은 몸과 꼬리지느러미에 아름다운 색깔과 무늬를 갖고 있다. 야생 구피는 저질의 조류나 수서 곤충의 유충을 먹이로 한다. 생태학, 진화학, 행동과학 등의 분야에서 연구 소재로 쓰인다.
