Today I had our Poecilia meeting again. And these are my new assests...
IMG_6098.JPG

Most are just fresh additions for my current populations, like Ataeniobius toweri, Xenotoca lyonsi, Zoogoneticus purhepechus, Xenotoca variata, Poecilia obscura, Phallichthys pittieri, Quintana atrizona and Phalloceros caudimaculatus reticulatus. New are tuxedo roundtail guppies, loads of medakas and Macropodus honkongensis.
Further more: java moss, artemia flakes, a paper blood worms and a bottle of methylene blue.

I especially envy you your Phalloceros c-r. I've been looking for them for a long time. And I've never seen Quintana atrizona in the flesh. Just photos in the books.

I've kept the caudies for years. I've also kept the golden variety (Ph.c.r. auratus). Well, the Q.atrizona isn't a species that you can find that easily overhere. I already had some of them and this past weekend I got new additions of them.
The Q.atrizona is one of the smallest livebearers there is. A lot of people think that the H.formosa is the smallest but that's would be an incorrect statement. H.formosa is just one of the smallest livebearers. There are more livebearer species that are that small. And they're all superfetative.
 
Does the gold form breed 100% true or does it throw some non-gold reticulated and/or wild-type pheno?

Welll, if you keep them together, they should breed true. But if you get your hands on some, they are probably kept together with the grey bodied ones which results in both grey and gold bodied versions in offspring.
No wild phenotype will come out of these. neither gold reticulated nor plain gold specimens.
