Livebearers

alright, this is kind of a little game, this forum never has much traffic so i thought i'd add some anyways...lets get some pictures of your livebeaers on here and what types you own etc Cheers LB looking forward to seeing and reading about all of your livbearers

ok ill start heres my albino males

I've just been looking at a few of the guppies I have actually kept (my breeding tank broke so I've had to keep them in a temporary home while I fix it! ) and I have a few that look like they could be really neat to breed from! I have tuxedos, some wild ones, some orange/white/yellow that have a platinum look...I'm looking forward to doing some breeding now too! What strains/types do you have so far?

HI All Again, Was reading a few of the older posts in this forum and a couple f them mentioned a guppy society being set up, just wondering if this has ever happened or was it just thoughts in the wind and wishful thinking. Cheers B

They were born some time between 9am and 12pm today. I don't know how many as the tank they are in is almost totally packed full with Java moss and indian fern. I have tried to photograph but to no sucess at this stage. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

does any one have full black guppies or full red albino as im looking to start up some show quality strains

Just thought Id share this. My wild type female has been giving birth over the last hour, lots and lots of little red eyes! They are almost invisable except for the eyes. :bounce:

does anyone here breed albino swordtails? or mollies? just out curiousity. anyone keen on breeding them ? if you walk into a LFS and saw an albinos and the normals. which would you prefer? like albinos or dislike them...please share. i personally would say yes to an albino because they are rarity and i just love those hi fin red albino males.

I have compiled a list of guppy strains in New Zealand. Please feel free to add your strain that is not icluded in the list. So far they are: Named Strains: Green Diamond Blue Mossaic Full Gold Flamingo Dragon Head (tuxedo snakeskins) Galaxy German Sunset Micariff Spanish Dancer Albino Snow (Platinum) Snakeskins: Green (gray body) Blue (gray body) Yellow (gray body) Red Lace (gray body) Metalhead (gray body) Blue Grass (gray body) Solid (black tail, red tail) Yellow Blonde Yellow-Red Blonde Albino Snakeskin Bader Snakeskin Moscows: Blue Panda Black Panda Pink Panda Thai (Midnight) Black Onyx Black Blue (black body) Green (black body)…

Whos going to/entering the show????

Hi Folks, Now that there are confirmed real Endler's livebearers in New Zealand, I toured the fish shops in Auckland and there are still some available for sale. I also found some of the same type of endlers in the "cold water guppy" tanks usually used as feeder fish! I have not confirmed the source of these venezuelan guppies (and the feeder fish) but I suspect the endlers have been in NZ for a long time and somebody (the source) has been breeding them. In the past I have looked at some of the guppys from the thermal springs near Rotorua and some of those fish have really good colours almost the same as the venezuelan (endlers) guppies. Your thoughts....

Well, as some of you already know, I have been able to get my hands on 8 female Albino guppies. (I have however been unsuccessful at getting any males) These are the best photos that I can get from a downward angle into breeding nets (their temporary homes while I sort out my breeding corner) with a pxt cell phone. This is 7 of my 8 girls. And another pic of them in case that one didn't work. This is my largest female and the male I'm trying to outcross with. And another pic of the same to give you a better look at the male. And this is my nearly set up breeding corner. (Platty breeding tank at the back with light on.) Will update here as to …

Interested.

Hiya. Just an update. I got the half albino babyies breeding with the new albino females. Hopfully i will get some albino fry. Mgith be ordering 8 new females from someone and maybe they have been fertilised by his stock (sneaky) Worked for me last time, its just that the fry got eatin LOL

there was a thread in this a while ago that said something bout a mollie hunt over turangi way??? has anyone decided if it is going ahead and if so whats the date and location ect??? im really interested

I have managed to get myself a white/platinum male but he has a tiny tiny bit of orange/gold on him. I want to breed him to try to make his descendants lose the orange/gold colour in them. But I don't understand all the genetics jargon , so what I am asking is... Is there anyone here that knows and understands about guppy genetics and if so what colour/type female should I put with him to get what I want? Also while on this subject I have a half red with snakeskin body that I also want to try to make more red through breeding....any thoughts? Thanks Ange

The purpose of this thread is to encourage experienced fishkeepers to comment on their experience about the reality or lack of it of coldwater guppies. I don't want to stick ideas in people's heads so I won't say any more. Please answer the poll and post if you want to add any comments.

I was just wondering what the largest number of babies that someones got from one livebearer (doesn't matter if it's a mollie, guppy swordtail, platy). The most I've got from a platy was 98 and none of them were still borns but I usually get about 40-50 out of my smaller females. So what the largest number you've ever had?

:bounce: My wife is sooooo happy ( she now calls herself a guppy nana ) :roll: I had the female guppy in a breeding floating tank - and last night found 8 fry in the bottom layer ( under the V plate ). Shall I leave "mum" in this breeding tank for a few days in case she drops more? How long should I keep the fry in this breeding tank .how many days / weeks before I can put the fry in the community tank so that they are old/big enough to not look like food food? Thanks for the hints and suggestions

Hi all, Just wanted to know what happenned to all those albino guppies out there. Any developments? cesarz

Does anyone have any experience in giving their well endowed livebearers the snip? I have a nice lyretailed sword I wish to breed from but I am a bit hesitant about giving him the snip. Does anyone have any tips?
