caserole Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yes you did miss 1. Out of the neon blue tuxedo have come neon green tuxedo due to the green diamond female used to improve the tail. Does neon mean full platinum - because the green tuxedo's are. I'm going to attempt to brake it out of the tuxedo using the albino's I have. Do you think I'm on the right track? I think the fantail gene may be here too, will find out on the 2 generation.

A-town... Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 and how many of those can I get my hands on :roll: lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I suspect many are not fixed strains. I personally have examples of:- Snow platinum albino with and with out the albino gold gene Snakeskin albino " bar gene blond German yellow tux Platinum Neon blue tux Platinum Neon green tux Green diamond Double swordtail 1/2 black and the genes to create full platinum, super delta/fantail, swallowtail and others but non are fixed and only virgin albino unfix females are available. Do you want something to work on? Do you have the spare tanks to do it The work goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Does neon mean full platinum - because the green tuxedo's are.Neon does not mean full platinum, I have put the platinum in the Novelty heading because platinum is not a fixed characteristic and can exist in any strain. So you can have Platinum Blue Neon Tuxedo, a Platinum Yellows. Platinum Albino Snow and so on, platinum can only be expressed when tuxedo (or black) genes co-exist. I'm going to attempt to brake it out of the tuxedo using the albino's I have. Do you think I'm on the right track? If the platinum gene is on the X chromosome, you can remove the platinum by using a female without the platinum genes. But if it exist in the Y chromosome, you have no chance of removing it unless you remove the tuxedo instead. Also the tuxedo can exist in both Y and X chromosomes. BTW your albinos are platinums.

caserole Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks for that. Some of the albino's are platinum, some appear not to carry it. I am using a clear female devoid of any trace of the platinum gene, so we will see in the f1's what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimsum Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 That does not look full red to me I have to agree with A-town, still far from being full red, and even further away from being called a fancy guppy. I wouldn't even call them red more a dark orange, but the goal is to some day get it to full red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikBok Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 i have seen some guppys at a private residence that looked like spear tales. Whether or not they breed true or not I have no idea but they did look interesting. I'm trying to remember the username as it was somebody on here, his grandfather was breeding them.

cesarz Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Does anybody know what the metallic yellows are called?Found out that this strain is called Gulfstream. Who has imported these? or where can I get some from?These were imported by two different companies and are being sold in LFS in Auckland and Wellington, ask your local LFS to get them. .
