cesarz Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Here is what Luke Roebuck of the US says about his pingu's he is selling for US$40 a pair: This strain dates back to the late 1970's era when they were published in People magazine and sold for a record $200.00 a pair. Unfortunately, only a few were the top quality. Developed by David Liebman over a ten year period in the 70's, this guppy is a striking metallic half-pink color with a black to bronze belly. Alot of work was done to create this strain and many of the top guppy breeders best strains had been incorporated into the making of the Pingu. As a result the potential for making new strains from outcrossing the Pingus is infinite. This strain was basically lost in the USA for several years but thanks to our guppy friends at New England Fancy Guppy Association, some original stock was reobtained from an English breeder and the strain is now reestablished here in the USA. According to my international guppy friends, it is very hard to obtain, but now we have it in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hmmm, isn't Pingu a penguin? :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Caryl, Yes, Pingu is a cartoon penguin but the Pingu strain name came before the cartoon was named. The Pingu guppy got its name from the abstraction of PINk GUppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserole Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 My x with a pure 1/2 black female are colouring up, I don't much like what I've got so far. There is a lot of blue/red tailed males. Surprisingly I didn't get high bred vigour, are the 2 strains closely related cezars? Think I'll just select the best female and breed back to my best pangu male and see what happens. Should I just cull them or would there be interest for them?

The Pingu male and the HalfBlack Black female that I gave you were not related at all. Apparently, the Pingu should have two Pingu allelles (homozygous for pingu) for the Pingu to appear. So a cross of the daughters with the Pingu Male will do the trick. I will be interested as I havent done that cross yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
