Guppies

What kind of guppies are these?  I bought them as fancy males.  I want to breed them. Should I try a specific type or just get some assorted females and see what happens?   I’m learning towards the assorted group as it will be easier/cheaper  to get probably.

The light really affects the color. The larger black body is really nice looking to me.

Thanks.  That’s helpful.  I’ll stick with assorted females and see what we end up with.

you can end up with some great looking guppys that way. if you get some you really like out of that, then cull and try to make a line if you feel the need.

They are definitely fancies, but that doesn't mean they weren't crossed with commons, also known as feeders. I have some cross strain males who look very similar. They come from combining a Red Tail Green Cobra parent with a first generation 50/50 Fancy/Common parent. All accidental. If there are any common genetics in their genes, you'll for sure see it in the next generation.
