    he he ... all guppies are beautiful .... must say if by dictatorship one would only be allowed to keep guppies in the hobby I would be OK with it.

    @Little Nicky: I have no idea. Maybe rope in @Moolis and see what he says. Man these are so beautiful - so much specially for the black ones and the ones before you turn the light on, those are quite mesmerising. The blue grass and purple grass are also beautiful

    @Ladysphinx do you mind to postimg some pics?

    @Rainstorm I have spoken to the guys at Petstop. To bring in guppies that breed true they have to order a large quantity and would be too costly.

    I have emailed one of the overseas breeders but min quantity and and and is a bit too much for me.

    LOL now I want the black ones and the purple grass ones. And I never used to like guppies - 1: they breed too easily. Now that I've seen it all, I want some of them :p

    I have a mutt that came out Black hb with large dumbo-ish Pectoral fins , his a real beuaty I'm going to bred him with either his hb mither or one of his sisters and hopefully get some that are similar. I will try and get some photos but right now all the camera phone take really crappy unusable photos and I put my camera cgarger some where and can't find the thing to charge the camera batteries, I'm actually considering ordering and buying new charger and batteries for the camera.

    I don't think I will ever completely like guppies even though I have 12 tanks filled with them at the moment. I think the only reason I got them, in the first place, was with the guppy challange in mind. Learned, and learning, a lot about genetics in the prosess.

    These aren't great but I got some pics wiht my mom's p&s camera. I struggled to get some nice images as I don't have a proper zoom lens, gosh I really need to sort out my camera charger. I had to really blow up the images so the quality is really bad

    @Pierré Schoonraad yes they are, I'm going to keep them pure strain but will be breeding them for more red coverage, try to get them as red as possible should take me a while.
    I'm going to breed the black little one with one of his sister that also have a black tail, hopefully getting a nice full half-black dumbo guppy going will have to see if that will work as they are still too young to breed only 3 month old yet and though the female is a bit bigger I want her to grow some more. I have her separated from all the guppies at this time

    Be carfull by saying 3 months is too young to breed. By accident I moved a female fry in with her uncles. Ha ha big was my surprize when I saw day old fry in my male tank. Promptly removed the female which I miss identified as a male.

    true I know she's probably capable of breeding but I feel that at 3 months there is more risk of things going wrong than waiting for a extra month or 2. I'm keeping her completely separate to insure she will be a virgin until I add her to the intended breeding male.
