    I pay people to come and get some guppies!

    On a serious note, Gerhard(Vis) was here today and when he left I do realize that I will have to get focused with my breeding.

    It is fun to grow out every fry, but starting February this year, the few females I got to produce feeder guppies for my discus, have grown over a 1000 guppies now!

    And I will have to do some paperwork on the breeding - the memory is not what it used to be!

    I am going to do some sorting tomorrow - will see if that very special fish will pop out.

    Thanks for having me over Lennard, was nice seeing your setups.

    Buying tubs soon :)

    Thanks for the female as well, will be interesting to see what her offspring will produce with my tiger male.

    You have some really nice fish, think the guppy challenge should get your lines somewhere good.

    Keep me updated on that pair of blonde oranges.

    Will get you those micro\banana worm cultures to you soon.

    @Vis, can i have 3 diff projects running and select one fish of each project at the end of the year and enter them? or does it need to be 1 pair and your top 3 fish?

    @MadHatter you have 3 entries (This can be a pair, a group or however you want to do it.)

    At the end of the year everyone will enter one pair from each entry to be voted on.

    We can even look at a the general group that a person bread.

    @lennard that pair I separated at your place, I imagined something like this but only with better full colored tails.

    Might be wise to add another blonde yellow tail female like the one in there already to that bin.

    Ok some pics of the fish I got from @lennard , cant for the life of me photograph the male in focus.

    Also still torn in two about what to do with these as I really really like the females and the male is not half bad. My problem.....Space!!

    Also thought of adding my blue male to these females, and since they are blonde it will get rid of the black he has and should be very interesting, still one of the males with the biggest tales I have ever seen.

    I got 3 females from lennard but one died yesterday after giving birth to about 30 fry.

    O and you wont believe it but these fish comes from his half black red guppies.....

    They do look good - can't wait to see what they produce!

    (Caught out some very interesting males the last few days - you really need a few tanks more! :bigsmile:)

    Realized I need to stick to my multicolor Tigers and let the rest all go, no time and space for anything else.

    Anybody want a few free guppies?

    Some nice guppies at Jungle Aquatics. There are some blondes with nice light blue tails and long dorsals.
