Phillz Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I have been trying to get a decent pic of this male guppy, without much success. I am wondering about his "anal" fin. It looks totally different to the other male guppy I have. It is long and flowing, and almost reaches the back of his tail....haven't seen another guppy like this so far, and was wondering if this Anal fin is different from the gonopodium (hoping I got that correct LOL), or is it the same thing.....if so would this make him sterile? He is a really pretty colour, looks more yellow during the day, and more blue at night, he has a pattern on his body aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 You will often find this in guppies that have been bred for increased colour or finnage. Invariably, as the finnage increases, so does the gonopodium, and often it is so long that the males become useless for breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
