Phil Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I had a look at the guppies in my LFS after tafe today, they had about 3 tanks, and none of them looked too good, not very nice colour/finnage either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbies Betta Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Jess, where'd u find them? As for that green/yellow guppy Abbey, plz plz plz find more :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I found them at a shop in Modbury (pm for shop name). Erm, I wormed mine and 1 died after it dropped a massive worm overnight *ewww* So I would errr on the side of precaution. Or be prepared to treat them in QT for a month at least a mointh and worm them good and proper. *grossed out that I have festies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 poor Jess I'd die if I had to deal with worms. garden worms I'm fine with (heck, they make good projectiles at your younger sister :D ) it's just these fishy worms that eek me. hopefully they get better. also, what is the av. life span of a guppy?

Mishy Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 robbie!!! between you and me, we'd make a great pair... i have a chronic fear of earthworms (i see them and i run a mile) but i have no problems with all the fishy worms or snakes or anything else that resembles the scary earthworms......

Robbies Betta Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 we'd make the most freaked out pair I reckon. Just imagine... me chasing Mishy with earthworms and Mishy chasing me with fishy worms :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishy Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 add denmother (bundy) into the mix by throwing blackworms at her and i think all hell breaks loose.. LOL you'll definately have your bottom tattooed hmm... are guppies shipable? I was just thinking, there's some aquariums here in melb which has fairly awesome ones lately.. and if people want, i'll be the weirdo taking pics for them and if it tickles anyone's fancy i'll send them away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 They are shippable, I think they would need O2 in the bags for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debstep Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 We have a Molly/Guppy tank (Step's fish) nothing special at present, if anyone finds Blue Guppies PLEASE let me know, Step really wants to breed blue ones. Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 how blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debstep Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Very very Blue can be light but prefer more royal- as much up on the body as possible and all blue tail- the main thing is no black if possible. Do you know of some??????????? Cheers Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango4Jade Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Seems the yellow long fin guppies are being imported by my lfs...$3.95 each! They look nice and weird. I didnt get any because that batch had many spinal problems. But colour and the long fins are in perfect condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieOrCory Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Sorry to pick this tread up late! But hey I just joined I need to catch up I am currently trying to establish pure strains of: Black Moskow Black Tuxedo Neon Blue Tuxedo Green Snakeskin Redtail Cobra gave up on Yellow Mikalef and might stop breeding Green Snakeskin. The Black Moskows have massive tails but they do not get as big as I would like. So working on keeping the colour and the tail size while trying to add bulk. I will experiment with crossing with the black tux in one line. The Black Tuxedo has very solid colour but the tail shape is not consistant enough for my liking. Over two generations I managed to increase the extend of the black on the body. My main aim is to eventually split to strain into two complementary lines with one as Extended Black Tux and the other Black Tux so that I can peroidically cross the lines to maintain vigour. Neon Blue Tux, for some reason I like the way this fish looks from above. I would like to develop this strain so that 2-3 months of the year I can have 50-60 males swimming in my pond. I think they'll look pretty good in there. Currently the pond has Gold Whiteclouds in it. Whiteclouds actually managed to overwinter in there despite what Canberra had to throw at them during the last so many months. The Green Snakeskin, though I like it that there are too many directions I can take the strain - due to variation I get among the offspring, because it requires first for me to make a decision and than trying to establish it I am more inclined to let it go. The Redtail Cobra was my first strain, I pretty much breed this to sell back to the shops, so eventually I might let them go. Though I managed to put in really good size into the strain over 3 generations. I am also trying to intensify the red. All the strains are kept seperate and all the drops (birth/batch) are raised in their own tanks. Sexes are seperated quite early on so that when I set breeders up I know exact parentage of the drops. Detailed notes are kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango4Jade Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Cool, just wondering where you got the breeding stock from? :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Deb, try GCAS, someone there had/has a midnight blue strain that is pretty blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I got the breeding stock from various shops in Canberra therefore even though phenotypically (=physical appearence) they might look alike you never know as far as the genetypically. Hence my blue line threw very nice but useless greens, pastel yellows and even reds. I am working on cleaning them up. i suppose it is a long winded way of getting pure strains but when they are established they'll be my lines. The Black Moskows as an exception. I got the moskows from a friend here who has been working on them for 3-4 generations. The tails are amazing almost HM No worries carrying the tail but the body size is small.

Callatya Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm thinking of going that way for some H/B reds Serkan, how many generations in are you and what percentage of random colours are you getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
