Looking for a cool/rare strain of guppies. Any suggestions?

Are you planning to sell the guppies you raise, or do you only care about pleasing yourself? Where I live it is hard to find red guppies: red flamingos, albino full reds, etc. From other threads I’ve heard solid color guppies sell well, so if I was choosing for sale-ability I might choose red flamingos. Another option might be double sword or lyre-tail types, as people love the tails on them. Check out Japan Blue Double Swords for example. 
You can see some of my double-sword type tails in these pics:

If you're looking to sell to LFS in your area, you might want to go ahead and ask them what kind of guppy they can't keep in stock. If you're wanting to sell directly to hobbyists in your area, I'd pay attention to what people in what your local Facebook fish groups are offering for sale. If there's another person selling cobras all the time, you may lean more toward lyre-tails, etc. If you're wanting to sell on Aquabid or someplace and ship, it won't matter so much what your neighbors are selling locally. The only other advice I'd give anyone is to pick a kind of guppy that is easy to sex out at younger ages, so you don't have to keep them for 4-6 months to tell males from females.
