New Guppy Strains

[Matt]

Not my favourite biscuits but for those that are into fancy guppies here are some of the new strains coming out of Germany. All pics courtesy of Aquariumglaser. Methinks the last one might be a P. wingei i.e. Endler?

beautiful colours, sadly don’t seem to have character…its only food or hankypanky

Me too. Pretty colours, but completely devoid of character. Is there a more boring fish to keep behaviour wise? May provoke some interesting discussion?

Never kept livebearers and have no interest in doing so. But for those that like them, very colourful.

LL – tetras are worth having if you’ve got a large enough shoal.

I think goldfish make pretty dull and in the main unsuitable tank residents but fine in a pond. I also have a problem with Melanotaenia sp. rainbowfish but can’t put my finger on exactly why… /laugh.gif” style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:lol:” border=”0″ alt=”laugh.gif” />

Ah a woman after my own heart, a collegue has 6 in his lab tank and they really do nothing apart from eat.

Gotta admit that I’ve fallen for my swordtail trio though. They were due to be rehomed this month from the pond but I now can’t part with them and have made space in the 240L. I just hope the praecox can munch all the fry or I’m heading for trouble

So you’re partial to a golossolepis?, you may yet be saved form the darkness (and my bosemani has lost the murderous glint in his eyes)
