ATFG Guppies

Hi Guys

Im just curios, how do you go about get your guppies certified as ATFG guppies?

 

Not sure you can, since this would be like saying "how do I get my cola drink certified as coca-cola" ATFG is a brand ... All Thailand Fancy Guppy.

From a very broken website (loads of 404 errors) ATFG, World Class Guppy Hatchery

" For more 12 years experience, ATFG continue breed and develop new inventory. This is the 3rd year that ATFG has distributed excellent Guppy to worldwide. ATFG have received a lot of appreciation word from ATFG's customers and friends. ATFG always emphazise that "Customer hapiness is the highest priority". Of course, customer hapiness depends on best quality, reliable and friendly. You are able to ensure that ATFG can serve you all things you wish about guppy.

ATFG has dedicated knowledge, experience and fund to develop the inventory. For more 100 cement ponds and 100 glass tanks, ATFG are planning to expand the production power to 200 ponds in 2011. Absolutely, ATFG will have more souce for the new inventory. It will help ATFG produce the highest quality of guppy and success in new cross breed. "

Seems like only the main page and the stock list ATFG, World Class Guppy Hatchery is working to some degree. Even this stock page was last updated May 15, 2011 so I would not go try and buying of that.

Later Ferdie

 

Thought as much.... also saw the page was down, so i gues at the end of the day they would just be guppies...

 

Sales gimmicks.(basically anyone can claim they have ATFG guppies)

 

I have ASAMG - All South African Mutant Guppies

 

and you give written certificates.:laugh:

 

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! +1 for that... and they are free!!!!
still waiting for pics btw...

 

@DewaldC - All my certificates are hand drawn by my 2 1/2 year old daughter (so worth more than the fish) and my fish come with a guarantee that there is no ATFG in them. :blink1:

@Ammar - I'm glad you got a chuckle out of that one. :amuse: Pics of guppies are always difficult. They never keep still!

Here is a terrible pic of my metallic blue snakeskin female ASAMG:


Here is another blurry pic showing the colourless guppies

 

awesome thanx

 

I will try to take better pics of them soon and will post them in my 300l thread...

 

@MarcHawke how did you manage to get a colorless strain of guppies? and shouldn't the males be pretty close looking to their father as the female got no color to influence it at all? i find this intresting, maybe ill beg for a few for intrest sake

 

@oupoot - The colourless guppies are females and some sort of throwback. I started with a metallic blue snakeskin male, a blue female like in my pics and a similar looking red. I now have (through breeding these) metallic snakeskin reds/blues/blacks and some that have endler colouring (probably due to cross breeding prior to me owning them). My females throw out female colourless (gold), red, blue and combinations thereof.

If you want some you will need to let me know soon as I've just about had it with guppies. I love them but they are taking up my precious tank space.

 

I imported some guppy strains from ATFG- and no, I used a third party, who in my opinion can actually bulls.... people , should he wish to, nobody will know . The only reassurance is the fact that I have strains I never saw anywhere else.
But I will not import again, the frustration will kill me

 

Why @len.weideman. What happened? Long time no see dude! Less time on APSA...

 

@MarcHawke - You wait for weeks and weeks for delivery, receive some dead fish, promised replacements, never realise, those sort of crap
I am extremely busy this time of the year, normally our peak season

 

@len.weideman - Thats not cool. You would expect someone like ATFG to be very proffesional. What do you do again?

 

@len.weideman did you receive this poor service from a local or international dealer??

I must say, the All Black high dorsals you sent me are AWESOME. Thanks once again.

Andrew

 

@MarcHawke i would love to take your guppies for me and @Ammrs breeding project(still fantasy at this point) but the problem is the transport.
and also you only started with blue and the colourless was the end results?
im not a genetics expert, but isnt the darker genes more dominant and its save to just about call them albinoes even thouth they dont have red eyes?

 

@oupoot - If you want to breed guppies, mine are not the ones to start with :blink1:. Rather start with good breeding stock and fiddle with them from there. I get amazing males out of my breeds but it's currently a bit of a luck of the draw. Rather spend a bit of money and get them from someone like @len.weideman.

I will give to you with pleasure but transport is going to cost more than they are worth!

 

@oupoot, if you are interested I have 2x males and 1x female purple snakeskin guppies
