darennkj Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi all, Just want to share some photos of my bluegrass guppies. Got the original stock from Gold Pisces from Thailand. These are the F1 males, around 4 to 5 months old. I just love them to bits! Enjoy... Regards, Daren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terribletegs Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Gorgeous! I love their big dorsals. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoid12 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 absolutely love them! Will you be selling fry? If so, will you post? Very interested in the bluegrass ones :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darennkj Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Yes, they do look much better than their fixed dorsal counterparts. The ones in these photos are actually not my best males. I thought I'll spare them the stress of being moved into a smaller tank and having lights flashing at them randomly. They are definitely much better in terms of finnage and dot patterns Hey Ninoid12, I won't be selling fry. Watching them grow up is a big part of the hobby that I like. Only when they reach at least 3 months old will I sell them. Sorry. BTW, anyone else have any guppies they would like to share? Daren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoid12 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 im more than happy to wait until they are 3mths old hehe keep us posted, and of course baby photos when you have them what do the girls look like? pix? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peta Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 ohh this makes me want guppy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darennkj Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Ok, will do. I have one in the classifieds on the redgrass. I'm not super eager to sell them, so I figured if someone really really wants them they'll PM me to enquire Only a pity that I don't know how to ship...

darennkj Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Oh, forgot to add, the females are very pretty too. They've got very nice fins, definitely better looking than what you can get from the lfs. However, their colour are not as intense as the males though. Will try to take some photos and post them up here. Stay tuned! :) Edited September 26, 2009 by darennkj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNGLE Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Love your fish mate. Great pics too,though you really have to see them in person to get the full effect. I've been working with normal and snakeskin endlers for three years now and the results are absolutely beautiful! Most Guppies have no colour over the head and gills. I found a full red strain but only the females can pass on this trait.Luckily I got a female. The Panda strain can place colour on the pectorals which really adds to the effect too. By adding Pingu and Magenta and some metallic/iridescent genes as well as Albino the gene pool went wild! I have shared with a few friends and we now have enough to fix at least 6 strains of unique looking gorgeous fish. Guppies are soooo underrated.

darennkj Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Agree...they do not get the credit they deserve...truly magnificent fish they are... Wow, 6 strains eh? That's a lot of tanks involved! I've worked with some snakeskin endlers before, ones with an upper sword. Sold off all of them now to concentrate on the grass. Any photos to share Jungle?

ninoid12 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 waiting for female photos hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darennkj Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Finally! The girls went psycho went I moved them into the little photography tank, so I couldn't get really good photos. Then I got one of my breeders, but the quality isn't good. Anyway, you can see how the dorsal fins are elongated, and the same will happen to the anal fin when they get older. Enjoy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
