This list of words and the Ideas Books are now housed in the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Roald's home town of Great Missenden-and the Museum is also just down the road from a house that inspired the orphanage The BFG snatches Sophie from in the story.
Full Definition of GUPPY. : a small bony fish (Poecilia reticulata of the family Poeciliidae) especially of Barbados, Trinidad, and Venezuela that is a live-bearer and is often kept as an aquarium fish.
As they naturally live in little puddles they are well adapted to bowls. They may also harm other fish. Paradise fish can be very colorful, the problem is that it seems to be hard to actually find very colorful ones in the stores. The feeder or wild type guppy is a great bowl fish, and can live its whole life cycle in very little water. I wouldn't recommend it but they could probably do it in a quart of water. Colorful, full of life and personality, easy to breed, simply a great fish. Fancy guppies also work well in bowls.
