Photos Of Guppy Giving Birth

[Bloo]

Thanks everyone BigIan, If I have some more, I'd be happy to post some to you (at some point down the line) if you cover postage.

They're Wild Strain Guppies and just "Spear Tails" as far as I know

They are kept on their own though and don't mix with my Endlers (in another tank) or they will certainly cross breed. Interesting that the females also have that high long dorsal fin and a cute "spear" shaped tail.
Nice also that they are so small and can easily be kept in smaller tanks - as long as fry are kept under control.

i wasn't planning on puting them in together with endlers. but i would like some. hmmm.... too bad you are in the UK or i would ask for some fry and i would pay for them and shipping. do you know of any suppliers that may supply the US. i.e are their any common lfs (chain stores) that may carry them. or a dealer that will ship to the US that you know of?

thanks and again they are beautiful fish. i especially love the first male you posted a pic of

them pics are excelent.
i would love to see a picture of the fry later on as they start to develop thier colours
considering the colours on that lovely male.
were did you get him from.
good luck.
by the way. for immeadiate results put your fry in a breeding trap and feed them frozen,dried
brineshrimp (£1.59) ($3.00) this brings the colour straight out.
you can also try when the fry get bigger growth pellet which are excelent and have a lot of protien
in but be carefull for an overdose as this will send your nitrite levels sky high.

Thanks Being so small the females usually have between 5 and 9 (the most I've yet counted).

Here are a couple more of the males (note to self: clean glass next time !)

When my mollie gave birth today I counted 10, and when I removed all the ornaments to catch them all, I found 30+!

Very nice pictures Bloozoo! The parents are great looking. I used to have a lot of spear tails, in a lot of colors but gradually got out of them into the rarer Livebearers. I gave them to my LFS and still see some of their fry there.

You should post them into the Guppy Profile. If you don't mind, I might add one into my FAQ. With credit of course.

No probs at all Annastasia and thanks for the comments again guys.

I will add some pics onto the guppy profile too

i dont mean to sound cheeky but can you take a few more pictures of the males and
if you can some pictures of the fry.
if you consider selling the fry i would be most happy to buy a few at a agreeable price.
thanks

lol sure I will try - though to be honest they are pretty fast and I have to take loads of pics just to end up with a few that are (in my opinion) kinda OK. And I also think they are much prettier than the photos do them justice.

If you are in the UK, I'd be happy to send you some a few months down the line as long as you cover postage. If you can't wait that long, you can get some from Wholesale Tropicals in London. I think they were £5 a pair and they do postage too.

I just connect the camera to my pc, download the photos onto my pc. Then crop the photos to the right size and upload them to www.photobucket.com. Then once they are on photobucket, I copy the IMG link under the photo and paste it into the post here

Hope that helps.

Did you go to Wholesale Tropicals then ? Yes, the ones they usually sell there are still Juvi's and not fully developed finnage.

Thanks for the tip - I'll remember what you said about those frozen dried brineshrimp
