JMiller2020 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 After many years in the hobby, still love my first species, the guppy. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 ...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. 😑 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 That's one of the things with both! They absolutely don't sit still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sry about quality he won't stay still 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Doggy Dogg Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 This is Fabio, son of Fabio. I’m gonna miss him when he’s gone. He’s about two years old. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 These are the blue ones I came up with from specifically not allowing inbreeding using different lines On 1/26/2022 at 2:38 PM, PineSong said: Unfortunately, I can't even get a good shot from taking stills from video.

I used my phone and filmed in slow-motion ruthenium took pics from the slow mo video. Hope that helps 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 @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!). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suz Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Fabio is gorgeous, but I am totally enamored by the blues! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonske Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 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. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrey Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 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 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) 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 😢 Edited January 28, 2022 by Crabby 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
