Designerguppy Challenge 2

@MadHatter full black and yellow fins. Do one thing at a time or it will be near impossible, you might get lucky and get the second by chance.

 

Had an entire diary that i wrote on genetics, and had tons of pages printed out....

But with all my moving in the last 2 years ( about 8 times )

I lost them....

@Vis

The reason i asked is i found a hb female with red/yellow fins.

And my male also has the same tail color,

I will breed them together and see what comes out ( hoping for hb with the color tail im looking for in the F2 fry )

Otherwise ill do the body first ( have a male with a blue/black body ) and then ill work on the tail...

Seems the red halfblack rarely produce a nice clean red. @lennard has been trying for ages.

 

I have some red HB as well and have to agree the red is not as nice as you see on Full red guppies.

I have yellow hb female would love to have the hb go up a but a bit more but her brother is a snakeskin with yellow I'm considering putting them together to see what happens.

 

Can someone please help me under stand what they are saying here. I don't alway understand what the frack I'm reading.

"In this paper we report on a special case of crossing-over in Poecilia reticulata. It was known fact that Snakeskin body trait (Ssb) can be both X-linked, or Y-linked, and also that the percent of recombination between Y and X chromosomes is 0.36, while reciprocal recombination, from X to Y, is 0.00; in other words, the gene was not known to recombine from X to Y. The aim of the current work was to present an accidental observation about the occurrence of crossing-over events from X chromosome to Y chromosome in our guppy broodstock. The results based on crossbreeding and progeny testing showed that Ssb recombination by crossing-over or gene conversion is possible both from X to Y and Y to X. These events have numerous evolutionary implications as long the color traits and behavior are very close interrelated in many animal taxa and not only in the guppy fish."

This is were I found the info:

In my profesional opinion as a layman fish breader. 50/50

Another Guppy genetic book I got hold of. I can't wait to start reading and hopefully understand some if it. You can find it here:

Guppy Colour Strain By Philip Shaddock

 

here is another link for those interested in guppy genetics

@Ladysphinx can you please email me the ebook you have, your torrent link ends in "no sources from Metadata"

my email is WeirdSteam at gmail.com

 

No problem I will do it tomorrow as soon as I get to work as the pdf file is on my work pc. I printed it out today as it is easier for to read it that way. Super interesting stuff so far.

My guess is internet connection is turned off at work so the torrent can't download at this time.

If anyone wants the ebook just pm me you email and I will email it to you.

 

Ok haven't heard from anyone so I'm presuming you guys came right with the downloads

 

Maybe something like this created by Frank Chang in the 80's:

 

Will post photos tomorrow but I have noticed a male guppy with very interesting colouration developing. Totally excited but I'm not going to describe it as of yet. Would be love to hear what all of your thoughts are on this one. I'm considering breeding him with his colourless sister and see what happens.

 

Ok I found this fellow in my fry tank, I'm going to breed him to his sister and see what happens. His sister is very plain no color so far and she's getting pretty big quickly.

 

Love the green shimer on his body

@Ladysphinx what do you want to achieve?

 

I'm going to try and replicate his genes and see if I can get more fry with the same look.

 

Guys and girls,sorry for being a pain but do I type the sample competion form out again because I cannot seem to edit the writing in red.also how do I upload photos from my gallery on a phone.

 

I havn't used the form so can't help you there. Maby copy and past and then edit.

If you are using tapatalk on your phone. Press the sirkel with ^ inside and you will get the other options to load photos
