Keri Anne Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Wow, I haven't been on this thread for a while. Updates: -The female that I tried to bread with that beautiful male got really fat then died instead of having babies. -That male was shifted into another tank and disappeared when I had to go away and trust the flatmate to feed my fish. -I have since successfully crossed one of my female albinos with a Blonde male with orange colouration... said female gave me seven fry and promptly died. Current count: 4 Albino females and seven non-albino fry that carry the gene. Fry are 4 days old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pycckuu Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I have a question Click on the image for the original size photo! Is this albino Guppy on the left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 No , Its got a black eye so its a blonde but NOT albino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiuh Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 yup. billaneys right. its a blonde or golden variety. albino guppies have no grey melanin pigments on the body at all and have red/pink eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pycckuu Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 ok, but anyway some kind of variety And 1 more thing would like to ask I am willing to put my guppies outdoors - i have a 1200L tank in the summerhouse, but the temperature is quite low here yet We have +15 C in the afternoon and something about +7 at night What do you guys think is it ok or should i wait a week or two? As far as i know guppies can handle +10 water temperature... Here is our weather http://www.gismeteo.ru/towns/26422.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 seems a bit low to me for guppies , if you wnted to try it i'd not be putting my best ones out there for some time yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pycckuu Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 One female was bearing today and then suddenly this minor problem happened Fortunately it ended successfully - it was eaten by another female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiuh Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 very nice and clear pic. good shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Good pics! I would not put the guppies outside in those temperatures. They might cope with 10+ but that doesn't mean it is good for them, or that they will breed. Minimum temperature I would suggest should be 15C but preferably 18C. Others may disagree though :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I would not put them outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftaburn Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 ok, but anyway some kind of variety And 1 more thing would like to ask I am willing to put my guppies outdoors - i have a 1200L tank in the summerhouse, but the temperature is quite low here yet We have +15 C in the afternoon and something about +7 at night What do you guys think is it ok or should i wait a week or two? As far as i know guppies can handle +10 water temperature... Here is our weather http://www.gismeteo.ru/towns/26422.htm If you can keep the conditions stable they should be ok. I'd be insulating the tank round the sides exposed to sun & or non viewing areas if putting it anywhere subject to temperature fluctuations. Cant see it being a good idea without heating though & as I assume you'll have a filter of some sort running (you might want to lag your plumbing) power shouldn't be an issue. Personally... I'd avoid sun. I had thought of putting guppies outside in a heavily insulated tank myself at one stage (no room in lounge) but was looking at double or triple glazing for the exposed glass & arranging so no direct sun. All the literature I've seen suggests avoid drafts near tanks... I looked a while back at a project to put about a 1000 litre tank outside but I think they opted for goldfish in the end due to simplicity & hadn't double glazed / insulated when it was built, that tank I'd expect to be exposed to as low as -10 celcius. White Clouds would handle it (had some outside temp was over 30 at one stage & down to 8 with about a 5 degree day/night fluctuation at a guess). None of the plants I had with them survived but young white clouds did well fed entirely by daphnia growing in the tank. Albino guppies... I had an Albino Cobra pattern male but he didn't produce offspring (not that I've seen yet anyway) & seems to have expired recently while I was away... I'll keep an eye out he may be still about. If anyone is looking for large volumes of mixed guppies I have about 2000 at various stages... photos pretty blurry so far I'm waiting for a photographer friend to upgrade her digital camera gear & hopefully will get some decent photos soon.

Keri Anne Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 You have my shopping list Jim. Anything close to a soild colour (Red, Blue, Green) yet? Or have you been to busy to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftaburn Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Solid colours is a big ask... closest I've got is greeny teal... waiting on photos really then you can see what I've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
