Rod 9 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Do you have an endler in the tank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roger 3 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) yeah i didn't really want him in with my guppies but until my new build is ready i had to , well actually i didn't even plan on getting him , i was in my local pet store every few days trying to find the blue males (which i ended up traveling 200km to get) one of the days at my local the endler was in a feeder tank , i felt sorry for him and home he came Edited August 14, 2014 by roger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rod 9 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Not worries.....but he's a lot quicker than the male guppies with their big tails Fry will be cross breeds..... NOTE female guppies can store sperm for 2/3 broods If your intent is to breed the blue guppies, a rethink is in order.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roger 3 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 yeah i'm going to lose a few months , the 2 males came as pairs so those females will hopefully be ok other wise it looks like january by the time i finish the build have it up and running and them being separated for a few months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roger 3 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) thanks the drive was worth it to me , as it's exactly what i wanted. when the new tanks ready the difficult one it's looking like is sourcing the albino full platinum's i want , started looking with no luck at all Edited August 14, 2014 by roger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bettarazzi 205 Report post Posted September 11, 2014 Very nice. Are you going to play around with their colours? Or are you going to try to maintain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roger 3 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 original plan was to put the female straight in with my blue moscow males to try and get a few purple moscows but changed my mind and will get a drop from the pure strain first then put her in with the blue moscows . i'll keep you updated on how it goes not sure if i'll get any purples 1st generation it may take a few generations ? the yellow female above i'm hoping to get some green variance to the blue as she has alot of body color for a female , here's hoping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bettarazzi 205 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 What does Shaddock say about purple? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roger 3 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 male can only pass on the moscow gene and then add more red color cells for purple and add yellow color cells for green but doesn't say whether it's something you have to tweek for a few generations or if it's gen1 ??? trial and error i let you know in a few months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roger 3 Report post Posted October 27, 2014 in the background a juvenile blue moscow still to color up properly , closest to the camera is my wifes fav half gold first cross endler (endler hybrid?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roger 3 Report post Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) all the endler hybrids of size went to the local pet shop this morning as i'm going to concentrate on the moscows , in 2 weeks when i'm home again i'll have another cull as i've literally got 1000 babies swimming around and need to keep numbers low for specific matings otherwise i'll just end up with bitzers mating as they please with no control Edited October 28, 2014 by roger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
