Keri Anne Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I keep reading about different guppy skin types but there are never supporting photos to show me what is classed as what. Can anybody help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 "blonde" the proper term is Golden, it refers to the colour of the body. So you've got your Gold's and your Greys. Beyond that, guppys are then classed by there tails or colouration for example : Snakeskin and Deltas As far as pictures and labels go, you have asked a big feat of us. However this is something i was working on when i was putting together a database of Guppy species in New Zealand when i was the Poecilias Breeding and species Co-Ordination. Then it changed its name to the NZLA, and since then it seems to have died, so your abit outta luck. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimsum Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Here's some fuzzy pics of some of my fish. Gold/blonde/false albino/snow/Dimsum Special (you can pretty much call them whatever you want to) Grays with yellow tails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 But doesn't it have to have the red eye to be Albino? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 That's why they were called the false albino I would think. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PENEJANE Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 From what I have read and pictures I have seen, blonde is a male that is mainly orange/red in colour all over its body (fins included), golden is just a base body colour along with greys and then your half colours like half black and half blue. Of course you still have your true albinos, snakeskins and cobras. I have also heard that some places in the world refer to the yellow body guppys as blonde also but many prefer to use golden. It is very confusing I know and I think somewhere in the livebearers section I have found an identifications site and the link is posted there. I hope that helps Cheers :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
