guppy

[thx0110]

How do you pronounce the word "guppy"?

Does the first part of this word "gup-" sound like american way of pronunciation of "yup"(informal yes),"nut"...

Or does it sound like "goofy"(Silly; ridiculous: a goofy hat),

Thanks in advance.

For me, the U as in hut, nut, flood.

I've never heard anyone say "goopy" to refer to the fish. Goopy (the sound on food, rude) means it has a mix of solid and liquid.
