ryanjury Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 lol I just chuck driftwood in the same category as white worms, micro worms, daphnia etc as one of the things that fishkeepers should give to each other or trade for things especially if they get it for free I used to have a big drum outside with driftwood soaking that I gave away if I didn't need it when I was in Auckland alanco nice guppies the last one has some funky colours going on gotta love all the randoms that can pop out.

cesarz Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi alanco, The second picture has a very grand name for a strain (not strand) : Flaming Dragon Batten Tail - I thought this strain has disappeared from NZ, it is of Japanese origin. it is basically a dark cobra (snakeskin) mossaic with crowntail. It was being sold on trademe about two years ago for $60 a pair. The first picture is just a mixed strain blonde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I picked these up the other day - cost me 50c off TM for 11 males and 11 females. Have already produced 6+ fry. I am still after more females if anyone has any spare as the males are all over the girls which is typical I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron11 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 adodge i might have some females but they will be small and I dont know what colour they are yet and god mine are terrible 3 or 4 males on one girl WISH I WAS A GUPPY LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 yes I am interested, doesn't matter about colour or size as long as they are females although the odd male would be okay. Can't work out how to send a pm to you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
