hard work - soft colors

Hi,

enjoy this topsword:

2004 I started this strain with a x-linked Topsword female and a male Japan Blue Wildguppy.

finished my saddleback shorttail strain!

They are always dancing the "wasp-dance" ... cute little yellow-jackets.

light blue goes to galaxy

Hi,

here one young Snakeskin with basecolor light blue :

Here one mature Snakeskin male, with light blue basecolor, too. This light blue shining gave the name of the basecolor. Attention! This fish is homozygous. The blue reflections have nothing to do with AsianBlue! The blue shining occurs when the light hits the fish from the front.

(A Snakeskin homozygous of AsianBlue does not show any Snakeskin-Pattern! )

I introduced this color to my Galaxys. These young guys need still time to develop their pattern full.

Light Blues are vital, fertile and they are in the same time as big as the Greys.

IGMX Spektrum

Hi,

here in Germany we have a great new livebearers magazine. It is published by Interessengemeinschaft Guppys-Mollys-Xiphos e.V. (engl: pool of guppy-xipho-molly registered society).

Here you can view the first two issues:

http://www.guppy-molly-xipho.de/spektrum.html

Hans Großmann refers to the base color "light blue" in the 1st issue. I think this article is a must have, cause he is the important contemporary witness of the detection of the third blue type.

paramaribo type "level teardrop"

Hi,

today I present one morph of an wildstrain from Paramaribo/Suriname.
Cause of the horizontally mark at their peduncle it is called " level teardrop".
At my picture this morph seems to be very unspectacularly colored , but if these males tease a female, they get a very nice pattern at their hole body. I am still working at a picture-transforming -collage.


Yes and here is a better picture of the blue Galaxys:

random shot

Hi,

just for fun I took ten pictures in my guppyroom before feeding. The best two you can see here:

Albino Topsword Action! (above)

Some Blue Galaxys and two Blue Leopard (Attention : This are no Blue Grass!) waiting for food.

Both types are heterozygous for Asian Blue (=> r²R²) ... remember the "Red to Blue Cheat"!

Light Blues

Hey,

here are two bad pictures of my light blue tank:

I decided to introduce this rare and interesting body-base-color into my lutino galaxy strain.
