guppy
guh pee
- n small freshwater fish of South America and the West Indies; often kept in aquariums
- A guppy, with its symphony of biological systems and subsystems, is vastly more complicated than a star.
- Culex, for example, can be controlled by the mosquito fish (gambusia) and the common guppy which eat mosquito larvae in water.
- I had separated the mother guppy from the rest of the fish by placing her in an uncovered bowl.
