Hi
Selective breeding of guppies.
Ground and cover colours: In addition to fin and tail shape, colours play a very important part in selective breeding.
Guppies have a basic or ground colour on which are markings in other bright and iridescent cover colours that catch you attention. The most important ground colours of guppies are: Wild-colour, Albino blond and blue.
Wild-colour guppies have a grey or olive-green ground colours.
Albinos lack black pigments so there bodys are light coloured and there eyes are red.
Blond guppies also have light coloured bodies but the black pigments are not completely lacking.
Blue guppies lack shade of yellow and red and because of this they have a blue shimmer.
By combinining these different colours new ground colours can be created.
Thanks for reading
