AndyL Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 No BS answer or typical board answer? Typical board answer - not a bad fish. No BS answer? Well the pattern is good, the tail / dorsal fins are pretty weak, definitely needs to be crossed with another strain with some GOOD fins. I don't like the red streak on the body behind the eye over the gills. The noticeable notch behind the dorsal would not score well with IFGA judges. It's not a show winner - but if you had some quality guppies for crossing with - in about 8-10 generations you could have a gorgeous fish.

shawntraviss Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I agree its pretty but a show guppys its not, its suppose to be a leopard or snake skin, maybe a cross of the two, its fins are small and not very flowing, it looks like it was crossed with a ferral aka feeder guppy, ive seen these in batches of feeder guppys at my lfs, its tail looks like a low grade spade or flag tail, still mixed with to much ferral guppy bood and yes that red spot is a flaw, but i still think its pretty Leopard Snake Skin Guppy Tails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icewolf Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thank you everone. I would'nt put this guy in show. This is just to make sure I could raise the fry. He is about 4 1/2 months old. Out of curiosity where do you think the red streak on him comes from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltWater_Freak Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Endlers Live Bearer cross. Most likly. Guppies have red stripes blue blotches in the wild so he probaly is a 15 or 16th generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
