caserole Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 That's what I want to do DantezGirl, a 900x450x300mm planted tank full of Endlers I have breed. And if cesarz achieves what he is planing WOW is all I can say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesarz Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Keri Anne, Yes I will work with caserole to get the albino one you want the blonde ones actually look close enough to #21 on the swampriveraquatics site. My camera is not good and the colours in real life are a lot better than that. Hi Dixon1990, These wild guppies are only 2cm long and the black bar on the centre of the body intensifies and connects to the dot near the peduncle when excited. Hi caserole, So you got some blondies? Will try to post a picture of my one here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sure did, not the best but you can only work with what you have. I managed to pick up some wild female guppies for you too, just conditioning them to our water - taking it slow as the conditions are so different.

Keri Anne Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Are these wild guppies from the same place as the wild mollies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesarz Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Are these wild guppies from the same place as the wild mollies? They are from Golden Springs last christmas. Not many of the wild guppies look like these or maybe there were many but they can shut off the black bar when they want to hide so I only found three. forgot to get any females, wasn't thinking right back then.

AMAZONIAN Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hi All. So why don't we think of incorporating a "Wild Guppy" hunt when we have the "Annual Molly Hunt"? :roll: :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi All. So why don't we think of incorporating a "Wild Guppy" hunt when we have the "Annual Molly Hunt"? :roll: :roll: The guppys are in a private property (a motel resort) so it is not a good idea for a group of people descending on their property. Howerever, if I can find the other spots where the guppys are and not inside a private property, we can organise a "Guppy Hunt". That will be my mission for the holidays.

BURN Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Cesarz Are the wild guppy on the private property not the same as the millions in the lake in the main township and all the accesses to the lake. Are the guppy by the millions in the western spring in auckland the same and very similar or very different . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Gambusia are not wild guppies or legal to keep and breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 like alan i believe the fish you are refering to BURN are gambusia http://www.nzfreshwater.org/thumbnails/gambusia.html confusing these with tropical guppies is an easy mistake for a tyro to make in fact i have seen people attempt to sell these on trademe as cold water guppies :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 and have also seen them for sale in a shop, well im very shure they where, the shop keeper recons that they where not, and that they where wild caught guppies from somewhere in nz.

Neon Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I saw some little fish in one of the Auckland Zoo ponds at the weekend and was wondering what they were. Looking at that link I think they must have been gambusia. This is probably a dumb question but why don't they get rid of the ones at Western Springs if they're so bad?

Stephanie Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Has anyone been to Animates Botany recently? Cold water guppies tank. There's some proper guppies in there (mostly female) but the males look entirely different. I was amazed when I saw these ones. Instantly thought about Endlers and tempted to go and buy a bunch.

alanmin4304 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Neon, they are so bad because they are hard to get rid of. They have been distributed all over the world to control mosquito larvae which they are not as good at getting rid of as people think (hence the common name---mosquito fish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Cold water guppies? There's always that one tank. I don't think people realise they can't live in true cold water. I have some babies in a cold water tank because I didn't want to keep them in my big tank, but my room is still stupidly hot and it doesn't upset them. Poor things at the shop though.
