Share your guppy or endler pics

After many years in the hobby, still love my first species, the guppy.

So, I just started keeping both Guppies and Endlers- it was a "centerpiece" replacement fish after my last Betta died and I swore off Betta keeping. Best. Move. Ever. I'm enamoured by them. They are incredible little fish, what a riot of color, activity, action and goofiness.

...one of these things is not like the others....

I just had to fish out one of the little Endler rascals from the back chamber of my flex. 😑

A couple endlers I'm breeding.

I'm planning on getting a nice female just for this guy then I'm going to give them their own tank. Sry about quality he won't stay still

[xXInkedPhoenixX]

That's one of the things with both! They absolutely don't sit still.

Unfortunately, I can't even get a good shot from taking stills from video. I think I need to catch them when they are asleep.

I have one who looks like him but only has a bottom sword. Very tempting to make more guppies with him and one of my red chili endler hybrid ladies, but I am out of space!

This is Fabio, son of Fabio.  I’m gonna miss him when he’s gone.  He’s about two years old.

These are the blue ones I came up with from specifically not allowing inbreeding using different lines

I just figured out how to get great guppy pictures by accident. I used my phone and filmed in slow-motion ruthenium took pics from the slow mo video. Hope that helps

@Shrimp Doggy Dogg, I can see why that guppy is named Fabio--he's definitely a cover model for guppy romance novels! Really love his colors.

 

@Guppysnail, your blues are gorgeous! They look like they are wearing gowns to go to the Oscars (the awards, not the fish!).

Fabio is gorgeous, but I  am totally enamored  by the blues!

Ahh, great-looking guppies, everyone! Who wouldn't love to keep such lively, colorful, easy, and adorable fishes?? Well, me, apparently... 😁 After trying hard with several strains of guppies and endlers the only guppies I keep these days are these  yellow sisters :) Love their golden color, and love that the babies are all golden from the birth.

So the theme tonight is how to capture a fast moving subject 🤣

These pictures are from my sorority tank, and the boys colors are still developing (they have been moved to my bachelor tank, and are even harder to photograph now🙄).

I bought two female guppies from this line:

And the boys are currently looking like this:

The boys are between 6 to 8 weeks old, and every morning I notice a little more color.

The phone camera doesn't do them justice, at all. There's even more blue today, than when I took these pictures over the weekend. It's a light, metallic blue? And the stripe pattern of yellow helps them disappear in my plants.

Here's the endlers in my spouse's room, I can't get good pictures of them, at all

I used to keep and breed hundreds of endlers (only kept one n-class variety though) - here are some of the nicer ones. Unfortunately I didn’t take many photos at the time I was breeding some of these species (most of these photos were from a mixed fry growout). I had a couple awesome black bar males with purple dorsal fins that had little black speckles.

Black bars (my own variant derived from a yellow king cobra and a male mutt guppy).

Yellow king cobras

Japan blues

N-class Campoma Blue Stars

 

 

edit:

I just found an extra album of photos on my phone that were taken on my DSLR. These are pretty good. Still no photos of the epic black bar males though 😢

Still trying to get good guppy photos but have to settle. Here are mostly juvenile, born in my tank, guppies and, due to a tactical error on my part, just a few of the tremendously pregnant platy ladies they share their home with. I think these mutt guppies are pretty typical looking, but I do really like the bright glow of those tails. They really do stand out from across the room, lol.
