    I am sure that is not near as pure white as you need.

    Tell you what - these are from an Israeli import the LFS ordered several stuff and got mostly guppies and platties, I will circle around to them at some point this week see if I can spot anything closer to what you need.

    You have a pic of what you are after - they received a serious mix.

    Since breeding-guppies is giving me a forbidden - a quick google images search first one is the main attraction we are after I assume.

    This is the first prize! But any white strains will do the trick as well

    Could be. But I am sure someone in SA will also have good quality white guppies, any kind.
    Ferdi will pop by a LFS where he bought those he posted earlier, imports from israel, to see if they have something white.

    ok went to the LFS - got two more but when I added them to the tank they are way more yellow .. will see if I can get some pics, I would not qualify them as white by any measure - it really is a mix bag at this point.

    Sad to say none of the males made the transition from LFS to planted tank .. I checked in with the LFS yesterday, they confirmed they also had loads of losses on the guppies so they will no longer be getting from that source - pity.

    I can only hope the males got a hit or two in with some of my inbreeds ...

    I recently also bought 4 male guppies and only one made it.
    The LFS guppies don't seem to be hardy anymore.
