shadoh Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Last summer, I threw some mixed guppies into a drum and let them populate it over the summer. It was a great little experiment and was very successful. This year, I am going to refine it slightly. I have some hybrids that I created with Opal Endler M x Redgrass Guppy. I have set the pattern and very happy with the results after 5 generations. I almost lost the lot recently due to neglect and it looked like I had lost the lot with the only survivors being 6 males. Thankfully, I found a single fry in the tank and have raised it to a point it can be sexed....A FEMALE!!! The plan is to continue raising her to a breedable size and put her with my best male to restart the population and raise them in an outdoor tub. I also have decided to do a second tub of a slightly more fancy single strain guppy or endler (anyone got any Medusa Roundtails?). Let's see what I decide. Here is a pic of my hybrids I am calling Opalgrass Scissortail Guppies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hmmm... Seems I still had a few of the mixed mutt guppies in the outdoor drum that I missed. Went outside this afternoon to scrub out the drum and set up for new guppy spawns and was greeted by a few adults and about 40 babies...lol, oh well - looks like they have just established a summer spot to grow out...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Amazing how resilient they are. Would never dare try that in Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
