cesarz Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Better continue with this from another post: Cesarz, which fish carries the crowntail gene, male or female? I have a few crowntail males, and would like to breed some more.Zeb, The gene is autosomal (not sex-linked) so it can exist on both male and female. I use the females to make more swallowtails (crowntails) and have never used the males, I now have about 60+ swallowtails. Check these girsl out! And the boys.

Aquila Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi Zev, I have a boy just like the one in the 3rd pic (except my guy's tail isn't quite as long yet) that shot out randomly from one of my first batches. The parent's didn't really look like that but the female did have a black/yellow patterned tail. What would you call his look? Cheers.

N1CK Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi, I have lost all my Swallowtail guppies, does anyone still have them? Chhers, Cesar how did you loose them all!!!!

cesarz Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 how did you loose them all!!!! (one of the reasons you don't keep everything to yourself ) You can loose them from breeding as the males cannot breed. It is still in my genepool but has not come out recently. I gave heaps to other people that's why I'm posting this to find out if they still have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi Zev, Your guppies are not swallowtails, they are just good delta tails that lost their CP gene that causes them to look like extended doubleswords.

BURN Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi Cesar Rox has got plenty of ribbon fin as you can see on her postings. if you got some turtle tucker from the shops you will get lots of swallow tail to cross with them. Adventually you will breed swallow tailed ribbon fins. ZANE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesarz Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks BURN! There you are, it really pays to spread out some rare strains to the right people. I got some more from another person I gave some to but they are all females. Cheers, Cesar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
