FancyFins Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I wouldn't mind getting started on some nice strains...Does anyone know where, in about 2 weeks- (in Auckland or can get them to Auckland), I can find any of the following varieties in what could become nice show quality... -------------------------------- Grass Guppies - preferably blue or rich red Mosaic - reds or blues King Cobra - metal or yellow/green Tuxedo - Blue/Black Delta - Purple Double Swordtails LyreTail King Cobras (maybe) I would also like to get a hold of some females with the extended dorsal fin - I had a few girls with longer dorsals than my males that folded over their backs like Free Willy's dorsal (best visual I can give you) - they also had quite long ventral fins - but I could never work out if it was a strain line or a fluke and when I moved I had to give them away - so I don't know what the offspring looked like.. Any ideas?? ~FancyFins~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyFins Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Just had another thought - maybe mollies instead? What is available at the moment in Mollies - any nice Sailfins or Balloons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livebearer_breeder Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Unless your prepared to pay big bucks to source them yourself, i would suggest you do what alot of people have done, and strain breed the fish for yourself. Quiet often you can pick up guppies from a pet store that have multiple types of genes in them such as the cobra. Its just a matter of alot of time and tank space,heaps of research and you can do it urself. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
