Kalita Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So a rather unique opportunity has presented itself. The 33 gal tank I'm redoing gave me a surprise - a single surviving guppy fry! As it's been growing, I believe it is female. Because she's the only survivor, I know she is a virgin which is rather rare with female guppies, right? I think I need to seize this opportunity and get her a boyfriend. Because I know he'll be the daddy, I'm looking for a spectacular male. Any ideas on where to find one? Suggestions on line? Etc. Female is a dragon mosaic much like this female: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Two great sources that come to mind. If you are not in Washington State Try Aquahuna https://aquahuna.com/collections/guppy-endler Another source mentioned on the CooP web site. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/pages/live-fish Edited March 15, 2021 by KBOzzie59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi @Kalita I have had luck on Aquabid buying from sellers with high positive feedback. I was curious and just looked through some listing on Aquabid. Someone is selling some "Midnight Galaxy" guppies and they look legit! I assume they are a relative new seller as they have a lower amount of feedback, but it might be worth the risk for these fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Just remember she still carries the genetic makeup of her parents.... So, you might know what male is the “Daddy” (feels like an episode of Maury, sorry) you still can be in for a surprise once you grow out the fry. To me sounds like fun. Good luck and keep us updated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True! I had her parents though not exactly sure which ones they were (yes definitely Maury-like!). I like how hardy they were, especially this little one. It will be fun for sure! 21 hours ago, KBOzzie59 said: Two great sources that come to mind. I'm in Canada so that's definitely limiting!
