Observations	Two guppies, a male and a female, together in a fish tank.
Explanations	Guppies have fins, a head end, a tail end, scales, and gills. They live in water and breathe in water using their gills. They use their tail and fins to swim. Their scales are used for protection. The male and female guppies are easy to tell apart because the male is more colorful and has more patterning on his body.
