| Here are some compilation shots of the guppies we have bred over the past 8 months. They were bred from the offspring of a few select individuals purchased from various shops we had stopped in at in our travels around town. 1. 2. 3. 4. | |

| I agree , guppies are a bio paint palette at your disposal. Guppies will forever be one of my faves due to the coulour and fin array that can be achieved from even a small group of fish. My latest endevour is to produce more fish like the male we already produced in pic 4 (centre bottom of pic) | |

| I love guppies too. Yours are beautiful. I want to set up another tank just for guppies as they fill the whole tank unlike BNs. What do you do with all the girls? | |

| Depending on pH and hardness ( I think), the ratio of the sexes can vary
at lower pH and less hardness I get more females
at a higher pH and more hardness I get more male
Or so it seems, any ways I seem to have less female than male in majority of my tanks at the moment.
So I am generally leaving them to just breed and rearranging colours around when the get too mixed, since all but the bluegrass came from mixed guppy stock anyway | |

| Cheers I'll try and remember. I'm on so many sites and forget - perhaps I should do it more often. PS clicked on Aquarank as well!
What's happened it said we're ranked 304!! Can't believe I've read that right. | |
