German feral guppies

So pretty
I've got a bunch of those Gillbach guppies as well. 2 Years ago, some friends of mine went there when I was staying at the hospital. So, I couldn't join. They caught a serious number overthere. They gave me some... Long tiome ago, several kinds of guppies were put in there which gave the result that even today there are multiple phenotypes of those guppies swimming overthere.
Btw, there are also other kinds of subtropical fish in there like cichlids and so on...

BTW I like your B. roseni in fotm it's become the most popular of the Brachy spieces at one time most of the Species were available in the fish hobby and now it's hard to find any of them
I had the Brachyrhaphis roswithae as well. But they seemed more aggressive than this species. Despite of the fact that some breeders were saying that the B.roswithae would be less aggressive. Overhere, they would grab an adult guppy and bite it in half. They seems pretty peaceful in the beginning but later on when they felt settled in their tank they started to become predators.
If we go back in the days besides Brachyrhaphis species, also other livebearer species were at hand through retail. A serious number of them are very hard till none to find these days.
Overhere a short video of the B.roswithae of mine.

I remember some fishkeepers saying brachyrhaphis terrabensis were very aggressive I found them not to be too bad however one jumped over to my guppy tankand attack a male guppy the tail look like a perfect crowntail , I find that Brachyrhaphis hartwegi were the most peaceful of them all

They hang around the warm water discharge outlets, we have some nuclear plants along the lake where the fishermen love to fish because of the large fish that gather there because of the warm water.
