Guppy ' gene '

So I posted this fish on another tread but this is very interesting. How my blue guppy started and another gene some how was introduced in the aquarium-Maybe long ago As some of you may remember I lost tons of guppies, I only kept 3 males. one above and the next 2 and I think I kept 2 females. So this is what came next---- And a few inbetweeners after----And FINALLY my best fish ever

 

Hello

There are some articles written on this guppy colour type by Philip Shaddoc from http://www.guppydesigner.com , I think it is referred to as wild type, but will read up on it and let you know, I have all three his books somewhere

 

He is, has X chromosome gene, new to all this, might check what will happen if I breed him with a blonde female with blue tail. So this is what one guy said "she has two X chromosomes giving her this tail shape and colour - generally speaking. the chromosomes can be identical - coding the same traits, or they can be different - giving such combined effect.
your male has one X chromosome giving him his tail shape and colour. when you do the cross - their sons will receive X chromosomes from their mother - nothing from their father in terms of the tail. " Not sure still whats gonna come out from these 2.

 

Hi len, I asked there , saw the books but have to buy? Ja all these gene stuff is all new, very interesting. But much to learn

 

Yip, I bought the books from him. Some things are way too scientific for my liking, if people start with all that scientific mumbo jumbo , I loose interest
Will read up on it some time

 

Ja, I don't know anything science related, so ill probly just do my way, gooi hulle saam en maak wat hulle wil maak.

 

It's really a nice blue colour.:smile1:

 

Thank you @DewaldC , I just hope I can keep it this way

 

Look at this female, So far still female gonopodium

 

Personally I think this is a young male, gonopodium still to develop. I dont see a gravid spot at all, and Japanese blue in the body is y-linked

 

i had n male also developed late. guess this must be male. y linked

 

Ha-ha! Dit klink nou so heel in my kraal!

Dis 'n pragtige guppy!

 

Ja, sadly gaan hy\sy rooi in stert het so nie full blue nie, maar blou kom mooi deur

 

Is it just me or did I see some endler in some of them?

 

Many people said that, but never had endlers in my tank, or any tank
