BikBok Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 This little guy is just 5 weeks old and only just starting to colour up. I want to know what his tail pattern is called so I can name it correctly for my TM add. Also I'm pretty sure his Dad is the snakeskin in the 2nd pic so am I correct in thinking he will be a snakeskin too, he is starting to get shiny like his Dad and his mother is a golden guppy purchased from a tank of only goldens and snakeskins. 5 week old male His dad is the pint size snakeskin below: Thanks.

twinkles Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 good colour for only 5 weeks looks like a snakeskin tail to me, whether or not he gets the patterns on his body too might take a while longer to see. How long have you had the mother? Cause his dads probably one of the guppies she was with before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I've had the mother for 3 months but this is the only male from her fry drops that hasn't been eaten! He started to show colour and obvious maleness a week ago so I'm pretty pleased. He's 5 weeks old today :-) His tail looks a lot like the snakeskin I already have.

BikBok Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 but what about his tail pattern? Is it Mosaic? I'm almost tempted to keep him coz I like snakeys but I have another batch of younger fry growing fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinkles Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 dunno, i just call them all snakes for want of a proper name and yep, of course he likes his mum, she didn't eat him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I wasn't aware they now named guppy tail colour patterns seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
