TJ _isme Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I don’t know if or how this is possible but I had some males with blue patterns and then I added some males with orange patters to the group the blue ones are now starting to have orange stripes, I am not upset with this I think it is cool I am just wondering how this is happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Wow, that’s awesome. My only guess is that they are trying to attract the females. If there is females in the tank, if not I am clueless @TJ _isme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamS Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I have never heard of that happening before. Pictures would be great to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are females, there are roughly 2-3 females for every male I think On 5/17/2024 at 1:51 PM, AdamS said: I have never heard of that happening before. Pictures would be great to see.

sumplkrum Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Guppies color may change as they age up. ... I'm kinda assuming this is what's happening. Possibly also a reaction to food maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I would assume this is a case of the guppy maturing into his more adult colors. Red is a primary color in guppy genetics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly also a reaction to food maybe. This is true. For example, blue dragon guppies tend to start out yellow and change to blue. This is likely the case.
