Anybody here raising, or have any, or have access to, any really good stock of the Red Tailed 1/2 black Guppies ? They used to be called the German Rose Guppies years ago.
Please let me know if you do, or know of anyone.
Thanks.

What about that livebearer group in Alabama? Someone here belonged to it. Bet if anyone had them someone there would.

Any one know the name of the AL. group so I can look ? Thanks for the tip Tina. :-)
Alli, I have bought from one of his buddy's a long time ago in UT. Some nice fish then. I think they were from him origionally. I bet you got some good stock ! Do you have your fish already ?
Will you give me the e-mail add. you contacted Rick on ? You can PM me if you prefer. Or e-mail me.

Thanks Bunnie, but my passion is the reds and 1/2 black reds.
My all time favorite fish is the F.W. Angel and BN Pleco's, which I have many of.
My next favorites are the smaller varities of Central, S.A., and African river Cichlids.
Then the 2 colors of gups.
I have found a fellow that has some Moscow Reds and maybe some 1/2 black reds, and he has said I can produce my own 1/2 black reds within 3 generations. I am unfamiliar with what I would cross to get what, so I am waiting for his answer of details. Will let ya know here, what he says.

Hey Bunnie, I may take you up on some of your Blue Moscow's after all.
I have been told if I use a 1/2 black yellow male and a blue or blue moscow female, then raise their fry, I should have some decent sized dirty 1/2 black reds. Then I am to cross the best male and the biggest female with the most tail color into 2 of the opposite sex of a red line.
This is suppose to give me really good 1/2 black red fry. Then I breed 1/2 black red to 1/2 black red. Then I cross back to the blue or 1/2 black yellow and back to red from time to time.
I am not that bright when it comes to all the genes stuff, but since I have been given this info., I was wondering if you might have 6, or two trios, you would consider selling me ? 2 nice young males and 4 large young females ? Do you have them to part with ?

That was pretty confusing to me too! I definately have them to part with... probably a hundred or more. You're welcome anytime to stop by and see what I've got. I keep the guppies in tap water and they do just fine. I have a bunch of them all together. I don't get many surviving babies with all the adults to eat them.

Bunnie, I would need enough to keep a line going and maybe a few extra females to cross.
Blue Moscow deltas, correct ?
Will you PM or e-mail me to let me know where stop by is located ? I assume you mean home.? Maybe one day next week I could pick some up from you. I would also like to know please if they are gonna be pricy.

Do any of you guppy keepers add salt to the water? I was told by someone locally that guppies prefer salty, almost brackish water. I've never done it, though, since they still breed like crazy in regular water. Just curious, I guess!

I have always read that they tolerate salt well, but have never added it on purpose.
