Hi,

I got the original Maculatus Strain  with blond Bodybasecolor Mutation. Now I can check every female about its traits.

When I mate a male from this strain, I only need to deduct the Maculatus Traits to know what the female has transmitted to its offspring males.

Platinum x Red Shorttail Lazuli female

Light Blue Topsword x Vienna AOC Topsword female

oh no no

Hej,

last weeks were a little bit disappointing. Two litters of my AOC Topsswords developing a very irregular pattern. Much more as I like. So some males have 3 black dots at one bodyside, and 1 black dot at the other.  

I will take a backcross and test some more females with my last unique males.

So now you can enjoy some pics now...

Hello,

here you can see a F1 goldmarbled male which is trying to mate with a wildtype Poecilia gillii female:

 

The male is father of the marbled male from the last posting.

tank#1

Hi,

at the Vienna European Master Championship I got this year a very rare and nice topswords strain.

It was created by Dr. W. Schuster. he introduced Bronce and Albino to his Snakeskin Topsword Strain and worked out these "Blackheaded Trait" you can see at the pics.

I got 2 pairs of these strain.
1,1 = grey
1,0 = golden (aka bronce)
0,1 = creme which means doubl. recessive gold&blond (aka. bronce&gold or tiger&gold)

In tank#1 living also some Shrimps, a few Ramshornsnails (pink and red) and Hygrophila polysperma *rosanervis* is crowding at the surface, maybe it will get a pot in future.

So now have a look:

racks and rockets

Hej folks,

in January I moved into a new flat and built a second new rack of wood by myself.Now I have to manage one aluminium rack with 16 tanks about 25L (ca. 7 gallons) and one wooden rack with 16 tanks about 54L (ca. 14 gallons).
In the last month I decided to quit the most of my testcrossings and cover pattern projects for intensifiying my concentration about my lovely topswords.
Now I still raise up my Vienna Emerald Like AOC Strain, these nice Metarika, awful amazing Austrian Snakeskin Topswords and a few rare Basecolors and maybe one or two Wildtypes.
What excatly you will find out in the following weeks :)

Here is my new rack  in my
livingroom:
