Guppy Breeders

[demonmagus]

Does anyone know af any private guppy breeders in the UK? I want to make my own colour/strain and websites say it is better to get the 'show quality' guppies.

Thanks

I know a few that breed show quality guppies.. what kind do you want though?
Deltas/lyretails/ any particular colours you want to start with?

 

[demonmagus]

tbh I'm not sure right now, however I am thinking of something to do with lyretails (are they the ones which look like they have a doublesword tail?), if they are the ones I want.

Thanks

 

[demonmagus]

anyone else

Sorry for delay. Yup lyretails have the split tail. Can be very pretty. I have some lyretail-endler crosses which look stunning. I don't know of anyone else with those either quite an unusual fish.

thanks for all the info, I don't want to hybridise endlers (everyone says not to), so, is there any sites where I can buy show guppies from the UK?

 

[seanc]

lol 99% of endlers sold for sale in the UK are crosses anyway, even those few claimed to be pure on ebay..
Good luck finding some quality stock!

My guppys have just bred expecting baby's anyday now, will happily sell them £1 each, the male i bred with is called a leopard guppy he had a thin but long tale, and a great long anal and dorsal fin
