Well, the February issue of the Poecilia news magazine has been released. Two articles of mine have been publisehd again. One is about the senses in fish and one article is ablout the Poecilia reticulata iridescent 1927. This is an old (over 90 years... and it's the birthyear of my dad) lab research wild guppy strain. After thought it has been long vanished from the scene, it turned out that this strain was still going on till this very day without any addition of blood of another guppy species. I've managed to get my hands on a group of over 60 fish of this specifi strain from a german breeder. He is very selective in handing out these guppies to someone. So yes, I'm the proud owner of this strain and they've already reproduced themselves overhere.
It's already amazing if a strain that has been kept in captivity for so long to breed true and no weakness or even deformities are at hand. Øjvind Winge (a danish biologist, the scientific name for pure endlers is named after him) brought them along to England back in 1921. And these guppies were used for lab research for 6 years in a row (1921-1927).
The article about the senses in fish is an 4 page article and the article about the wild guppy strain is an 4 page article.
