Nymox Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 She gave birth again today, 4 albino fry alive and well (for now) parents seem to have eaten a fair few and there was about 6 still born. 2 are pink and 2 gold, all 4 red eyes. The other female in the tank with her also has a pink gravid spot. She looks close to dropping. The fry are tiny, about 1/4 to half the size of a normal guppy fry.

Nymox Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Lost all the last lot, I had some other fry with them and they all got eaten. Today both females have given birth, I think a lot got eaten but there are still at least 30 in the tank, all albino :bounce: :bounce: Parents have been relocated to another tank and there are no other fry so here's hoping I get a good majority of them raised.

Brackishtank lover Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Nice guppys hope mine turn out like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 They are doing well, I lost a few but I think they were just weak, the others that are left seem really strong and healthy. Filling up on microworms nom nom.. Best pics I could do, the tank has a reflective bottom and there is a mirror behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossPants Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Looking good! Fingers crossed they grow up big and strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Ok I tried to get a few pics of the parents, mainly the male. Its very hard to get a picture that shows exactly how colourful he actually is, the colouring only shows up on certain angels, its very pretty though. Dad in front Mum up the back. Just Dad I'm very proud of them and I cant wait until I have enough numbers to be able to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 wow they look kinda blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 beautiful fish in the flesh photos don't do them justice as they move they change from white to a pink sheen then a blue sheen all depends on how the light reflects off them i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfishybuisness Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 do you sell on trademe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 do you sell on trademe I don't think I will be putting any up on trademe for quite some time. I have had a lot of interest, thank you all. I will be using this batch to increase my numbers and get some good breeding stock myself, as well as trading for some new blood. So it will be some time still until I am ready to start selling any sorry. Will keep you all updated in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diver21 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 whats you blonde ones look like? TBH ive been calling mine snake skin / pastels, some of my males dont have the snake skin patterning and have more of a pastel blue colour to them so hence the 'pastel' name ive been giving them, they shouldnt be too diffrent from yours as theyre from the same line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
