Guppy Breeds

[Talz]

Hey guys, how goes it? Ive been thinking about getting into guppys of late, I know the basics of keeping them already but what I know little about is the differnt types of guppy (I know there are TONS), is there anyway I could get you guys to share some of your favorite types of guppy? I mainly care about color and hardiness, thanks in advance!

All Guppies are the same species, there are just color morphs. And no two are the same, basically, since there is so much breeding between them. They all just blend together. They are all basically the same in terms of hardiness, though generally the fancier they are, the less hardy they are, due to inbreeding.

Perhaps Endlers would be a better option...

Endlers are great fish, and you can easily keep all males if you don't want fry. Are you talking about putting them in the tank in your signature? That's a little big for them, they may get lost in there. Or bullied, since they are so small. Or do you have a smaller tank for them?

 

[Talz]

I dont think they would go well with the rainbows... I dont plan to put them together.

Okay. What size tank are we talking about then?
