Endlerhybrids

Hi,

here are two Hybrids with Black Bar Endler:

This fish carrys the MBAG ( Moscow Blue Additional Gen). MBAG creates the blue rump of the Moscow Blues. Sometimes it gets very dark, nearly black, so it ist often mixed up with Ni² (aka Tuxedo, Halfblack or HB). But everyone can differate both Genes. Tuxedo is not according to mood of the fish. If MBAGs are afraid they turns pale, the MBAG getting smoky.

Tuxedo is linked with a caudal pigmentation, such as Red, White, Pastell, Yellow.

Only HB Blacks and HB Blues are similar to MBAG.

But HB Blacks are not blueish and never pale when frightend. HB Blues have got the dark rump before they are adult. Already one day old HB fish shows the black of Tuxedo (Ni²) , MBAG appears only with the sexual maturity of the males.

MBAG females getting only smoky but never black at their body in old age.

A nearly roundtailed this Snakeskin Lace Black Bar Endler...nice!

feeder fish

Hi,

sometimes I am searching feeder fish for my "Channa pulchra" in some local petshops.

Some of these fish are quite nice to show some genetics to other guppy-maniacs and some has got the possibility to start a new breeding strain for our pretty hobby.

Here are the "Feeders of the Week":

Some nice AOC Topswords with mellow tints...

"Channa pulchra"

rare fish

Hello,

a few weeks ago I were in southern Germany for visiting a good friend, Rolf Landvogt.

He (and his family) carry on a trade with ornamental fish, especially guppys.

I was allowed to collect some fish out of his tanks - I chose this two:

I guess its a golden (aka blond) Japan Blue Doublesword with Platinum. Here in Germany ,Platinum & Japan Blue are usually y-linked. So we couldn*t combine both.

The other fish is this nice Platinum Lutino Lyretail. Please notice the ruby iridescent eye colour and compare with the golden Japan Blue DS above

Guppy-Room from Manne

Recently, I was the first time in Mannes Guppy-Room. His favorite is the golden Full Red Delta Guppy. He breeds them in several lines to get high quality showfish. Here is one of his promising youngsters:



One of his outcross throws some basecolored white fry. Here you can compare a golden (aka blond) and a white babyguppy.

Enjoy Mannes red deltas:

But he has got also a foible for Moscow Blues. At my visit there where a lot of young and very young Moscows in his tanks. Here are some pics from the oldest litter:

In one of his upper tanks I found these three golden HB Red Deltas:
