AquaHobbyist123 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I am planning on keeping/breeding Moscow Guppies sometime in the very near future. Those are beautiful fish and are rather large for guppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne Brown Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) The Vienna Guppy is a pretty cool one, not sure if it's rare though... Edited August 2, 2022 by Dwayne Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherHumanPerson Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 They aren’t necessarily guppies, but I love cobra endlers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
