Im thinking about getting guppies and mb breeding some, my dad has 2 females that i could use, but im wanting to get vairous different colour variations. If i go out and buy a couple of different coloured males (and mb more females) would that mean id get different coloured fry?
The two females havn't had any male in with them for about a year.

I currently have about half a dozen fry from the fist two drops, one is definately a male and looks alot like the male did (orange and black spotty tail), the others i have yet to see any colour.

Any help very much appreciated, i have accidentally bred guppies before and looked after some of my dads fry so i have a rough idea of what to do once they arrive.
 
colour depends on the parents MOST of the time.

I have had fry look exactly like their parents, but i did have 2 unusual colours pop up

this is the dad:

the mom sadly passed away :(

if you want unusual colours, youre better off trying to find the parents in unusual colours, i am currently looking for new stocks on ebay :D
 
Huh thanx the son is gorgeous lol
Ive seen gorgeous males and nice females but i was just wondering if it would work, obviously yes :D thanx
Ill settle to looking at the different ones on sale for the next few weeks, hoping to have some for the new tank :D

BTW that's a red lace not a snake skin.

they tend to produce more blue's which are nice fish but the red's are hard to keep going if you dont remove all the blue fry
 
lol i knew it was a red lace (listing says) dunno why i put snake skin.... must have just read the other and got confused :S

ditzy day for me!!
