Yes I am still breeding some Lutino Galaxys.
They are heterozygot Asian Blue (R²r²) an their X-Gonosome is still Leopard (Yellow Grass).

Orangeline Type 2

Hi,

I got another Type of Orangelines! They were collected at
"Zufluss zum Rio Morichal Largo, Brücke des Highway 10, 75km SSO Maturin - 9,45N;63,10W - Venezuela". They look a little bit different to the other type, which was found at "Venezuela, südlich Ciudad Bolivar ; 50km östlich. v. El Tigre: bei El Salto von Mayerhofer/Svardal, 1996".

Look here:

European White

... just to compare:

young male
same fish but some weeks older

blond (aka golden) brother

brothers & sisters

These pictures are out of my european blue tank.

I crossed the basecolor "blue1" to a comercial-traded "flamingo-guppy", which I got from a petshop. Now I have the first pair of "european white guppys". The difference to "asian-whites" is, that they are homozygous "blue/white" and they are showing red color in the caudal.

APW Galaxy

Hi,

I got a female with x-linked APW (American Pink White) some month ago. I took it to a galaxy male and now you can see the offspring. These fish are also heterozygous with stoerzbach metall (autosomal full metall like mikarif) yes and perhaps with lightblue (hellblau aka. r³), too.

nice pair

piebald reticulata

Hi folks,

I got this picture from Robert Gall. He experimented with some asian magenta fish and his selfbred shorties. Unexpectedly he got some of such "piebald guppys" out of his crosses.

It seems to be a partly albino, cause there are no melanophores into the white blotch of this fish!

That is really awesome, brand hot, new guppy variety!

Orangeline ( RML )

Hi,

I am proudly presenting this amazing wild"guppy"strain:

It is called "Poecilia spec. Orangeline" or "Micropoecilia spec. RML".

These fish are from Rio Morichal Largo (RML) in Venezuela.

Some fish-nuts say they are Micropoecilia, some claim they are just a localform of wildguppy and some other think they are a new species of Poecilia/Micropoecilia.

What ever - they are beautiful! I hope I will breed them well.

Oldfashion Mosaics

Hi,

here you can see the last of mine Oldfashion Mosaics (bred by a Vienna Bottomsword male & Red Mosaic female). This strain got C. Osche because I have enough to do by breeding all my other strains. I will add some pictures of their sons, soon.

Vienna

Hiho,

I got this male to take a picture. It s a Vienna Doublesword male without swords.
This fish seems to be one more clue, that there are sword-modification-genes like surpressor genes involved in the Vienna-Sword System ( Bottom,Top & Doublewords). Please notice the sword rudiment in the caudal fin.


keep on reticulata friends!

Hi,

a few days ago I was visited by "Manne" (aka Manfred). He takes a few pictures of my guppyroom. He posted these pics at his Guppy-Portal : http://www.guppytreff-berlin.de/.

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.

Xiphophorus-Hybrid

Hello,



this nice striped maculatus x variatus male was bought by Claus Osche.
I think he will transfair the "striped pattern" to original X.maculatus by backcrossing this male to maculatus females.

to jammin

Irie,

this is my wildstrain , which was collected im Jamaica:


These nice fish are always in action and if the males try to tease their females, they get horizontal stripes on the body (photo below).
Their coloration looks in this moment similar to the horizontal striped variety of "Micropoecilia parae", which you can find at the google-picture-search for example. But my fish are real jamaican"Poecilia reticulata"!

so long - Get Up, Stand Up!

Comparsion

Hi Guppymaniacs ,

Both males are Redchests. Their mother was a R²r² fancy veiltail female from a local petmarket.

I guess she was a hybrid out of a Blue Diamond strain. The breeding of these R²r² Redchest was a good experiment to see effect of asian blue to this "new " color. I think the blue variety of Redchest isn't prettier than other "asian-blue-cheated" Reds, such as the normally traded Blue Diamonds and also not prettier than the red version - the original Redchest you can see at the first picture.

Here you can see some young ruby eyed fry (Lutino) in comparsion to real red eyed fry (Albino).

Please notice the dark iris and ruby sparkling pupil of the lutino versus the white iris and solid-colored cerise pupil of the real albino:
