- "I caught a guppy! Welcome to the team, newbie!" —New Horizons
The guppy is a rare freshwater fish found in the river during the months of April through to November between 9am to 4pm, in all games since Animal Forest. It tends to be rare during the month of April but will become easier to find as the months go on. It sells for 1,300 Bells in Tom Nook's Store, which is equal to that of the goldfish and popeyed goldfish. Its shadow size is tiny in all games.
Donation to the museum
As with all fish caught in Animal Crossing series, the guppy can be donated to the museum in each game by talking to Blathers, who will also give some information on it.
In Animal Crossing
Upon donation, Blathers the curator will say:
"Hoo hoo! Hullo, little fishy! Aren't we a tiny little fellow! Adorable! Why, I believe it stuck its tongue out at me! Hoo-rumph! Nevertheless, we'll take care of the little blighter! I'll keep an eye on this mischief-maker myself!"
In Wild World
Upon donation, Blathers the curator will say:
"Many don't know that the guppies with ornate tails are actually the males! Indeed, the females are quite dull...much like Celeste, always stargazing. I really wish she would pay attention to something else on occasion... Ah! I'm terribly sorry! That wasn't what we were talking about, was it?"
In City Folk
Upon donation, Blathers the curator will say:
"Male guppies are known for their colorful, bright ugly-like patterns... But look closer, and you'll see males share a design with their female peers... Indeed, a matching couple! It seems like the pairs are a little shy about their romance and tend to hide it. Simply adorable!
The guppy can be found in the small tank in the bottom-left of the aquarium, with other tiny fish in City Folk.
In New Leaf
In New Leaf, an information board in the aquarium will list information about this fish.
"Guppies are tropical fish that are related to killifish and live in warm rivers. They are popular fish that have been bred to have beautiful flowing tail fins. Mother guppies give birth to their babies after the eggs hatch in their bellies. They give birth at a rate that's nearly constant, so their population tends to grow rather quickly."
In New Horizons
In New Horizons, upon donation to the museum or selecting "Tell me more about this!", Blather will give the player more information on the fish.
"Oh my! Would you look at that! Such a beautiful, snazzy little fellow that guppy is! The shape and coloration of guppy fins are all unique. Quite eye-catching, I must say. Do you imagine they host contests for "most snazzy"? And...do you suppose I might receive an invite?"
