Colour_genes Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) This August/Sept we took a 7 week holiday to the UK and Europe, mostly for a major family birthday/reunion, but to do a bit of traveling around / touristing as well. I had just joined the UK Fancy Guppy society, www.fancyguppies.co.uk, and asked them if there was any chance of visiting a couple of breeders.I had a couple of very nice replies from breeders in the Midlands area, and arranged to visit both on the 3rd Aug.Naturally, I took my camera - so here are a few pics (not necessarily of their best fish, but the best of the photos). (For the photographers, I didn't have a macro lens with me so these were taken with a 50mm 1.8 prime on a 12mm extension tube, so focusing wasn't the fastest, and obviously light levels were something of an issue as well.)Brian Tate was the first breeder we met, a long-time fish enthusiast who had only recently taken to the fancy guppy hobby. His relatively smaller fishroom in a partitioned-off area of a shed/garage was really well set up, with natural overhead light, a heat transfer unit to move heat from the high ceiling to floor level, and a number of other clever tricks to make fish-keeping life easier. Brian had some really nice guppies I would have loved to get my hands on, and a small number of other interesting fish as well. We were made very welcome, and thoroughly enjoyed the visit!

calculator Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Pretty fish, it would be nice if there were more breeders in NZ who breed high quality guppies.(Although having a higher demand for them would help that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
