Designerguppy Challenge 2: Big Blues

Setup: Need to dial back the breeding a bit his year so most of the breeding will happen in my outside tubs.
Will post a pick later.

Breeding stock:
Males:




Description: I will be using these these two males, still young and growing but have a nice blue to them. The whole body shows color up to the head. Looks great in ponds from the top as they have this very bright metallic tops.

What you like about it: Size and color
Where it came from: A line created while breeding my tiger line in the last challenge.

Females:





Description:Will use about 5 females with the 2 males. One female has an enormous tale but I am not sure how her offspring will look. The other females have very nice color and size for females. About 4 months old.
What you like about it:Size and color
Where it came from: Developed from my tiger line. Original female was a half black blue leopard female.

Goals: Create nice big tailed fish that breed true.

 

Pardon the terrible pics, was in a worry and fish are in a greenwater setup. Will get better pictures when possible.

 

@Vis I absolutely love that blue male in the 2nd Pic. I think you will get a stunning line here

 

I'm in love with all of them they are really good looking fish. Can't wait to see what the end results would be.

@Vis I love those tiger guppies too. I might need to get me some. How on earth did you get them that way.

 

Here are the males when they were younger



If i can get a tank full of nice blues with big tails I would be really happy.

@Ladysphinx those tigers took a year of breading and being very picky and careful about what I crossed. There is no space for almost OK, it must right or gone.

 

@Vis If you keep the tiger line alive maybe one day I will be lucky enough to buy some from you.

And I love all the blue in the tank. I have a thing for blue guppies.

 

The tiger line will be one of my entries again this year, need some more work and I think they might hold something more special somewhere.

 

I think they are already special you just want to make them even more spectacular

 

Yes they are nice but have one flaw, the multicolor fades towards yellow as they mature, I need it to stay colored all the way.

 

I'm sure you'll be able to get it right at some point.

 

Guys, after a LOT of thought and one sleepless night I decided to give up this line.
There is something else I need to try.

So anybody that wants to continue with this line and thread let me know, that's my only condition.
@lennard

 

OK you don't have to keep the thread going but I would like someone to take it that will keep the line going.

 

I would love these. I just need to make a plan getting them from you. Will keep this thread going as well

You still looking for microworms too?
Have some nice wood and rocks lying around you can look at, for free.
There are also some hybrid endlers for free.
O and some male tiger endlers but I need to put a price tag on these at R25 each or R20 each if you take all in one go.
Just to make it worth your while

 

Jup still looking for Microworms would love to get some of the hybrid endlers and Tiger endlers from you as well.

Was good seeing you again.

The line is not 100% pure yet, you will have to select for 1 or 2 generations more.

Hope they breed well for you.
