redfin538 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi, Pretty pictures love the red half black but not sure thats why mine turned two of my males are pet store fancy andthe others are just common feeder fish the color change happened after i put the two fancty males in with the feeders I was thinking it might be a display of territorial or aggression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Can't help you with the colour change Asil... I took a good look at mine tonight when I fed them then put hand in water to see if that would change their mood - all they did was congregate round my fingers expecting more food rather than get scared or change moods! Maybe yours are half blacks and they change that way naturally? No expert on guppies here though - mine are just a bunch of colourful mutts.

redfin538 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Lol I think part of it was too many males and not enough females (went and purchased more femalestail blacklessened) also sligtht feelings of threat from presence of betta may be factor:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
