les Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I thought I would just post how well some of the guppies are going This was one of the males that I kepy from a male that was much smaller than this one but looked the same. After a few drops and a lot of selection I got these guys there was only two And now after a few gens and a lot of selection I have these guys. who would have thought that there was light at the end of a tunnel I now have putt the two best males with all of there sisters and hopefully I will get even more red coverage. It seem like a long process but it is satisfying. Cheers Les:byebye:/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Good work Les. During the selection process did you try to keep the females virgin until you chose a male for them? Or did you use a group spawning method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenningA.Rajit Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Les, What's your breeding guppy tank setup like for your red guppies line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks guys @ Razzi Up untill now I have used the virgin but now I am at this stage I am turning over to group matting all the best girls with the best boys ( I only had two boys that I realy liked , the rest went to the shop. I will select from this lots drop two trios and then from that I will cross each with the other so that I have four trios. This would mean that each female once the four trios were there would be mated to a second cousin / cousin once removed. This way I should have no problems with inbreeding depresion and the line should maintain its fertility.. @ drajit I think the explanation I gave Razzi covers your question.
