I found this lone little guy at the pet store! They had no idea where he came from or that he was even there. looks like blond japan blue double sword, but the caudal fin is too green for that lineage. Am now breeding him with one of my blond females who carry lower sword and snakeskin gene. Let's see what comes of it! 😅

finally! it just took a year! +perfect timing! i'm in the middle of retooling my hobby. getting rid of everything except:
- #angelfish pair (230l tank)
- #kribs pair (54l tank)
- #bettas (6x 43l breeder tanks)
- #guppies (3x 110l tanks)
- #CPD (54l tank)as well as #ancistrus, #neocaridina and #aquariumplants, to maximize gains per tank. these are all the best to breed for trade- always in demand. good prices. only missing #medaka and #espei. no space tho.

"The authors of this latest paper decided to test the Ebbinghaus illusion across two species that inhabit very different sensory environments: ring doves and guppies."

At the end of last year, I wrote a rather lengthy article for the swedish guppy club newsletter, hoping it would be published in the january 2025 release. Sadly, they haven't published it yet, apparently there has been too few contributions this year and they have yet to publish any newsletter at all.
It would be a waste to have it go unpublished, so I just finished translating it and posted it to my Medium.

I did something I didn't think I'd ever do... I handed in some ~200 #guppies (most of my lines) and some ~2kg of #aquarium #moss to my LFS in exchange for #cichlids.
My plan going ahead is to focus first and foremost on larger species, keep just 6 large tanks with minimal maintenance instead of 28 small breeders that need daily work.
I'm also determined to switch my aquarium #plants focus to "minimal-work" #bucephalandra with possibly a small selection of other #rareplants.
-
moved them to a much bigger, cleaner, tank!

Still my favorite #guppy line!
Back when I originally got my hands on them, the double sword expression and filigran was ~ 1/10 male. The rest were either bottom swords or lacked the filigran.
In the latest generation, they are all showing ds and filigran! even that one male with poor cadual fin in the video still show some trace of a top sword!
Gotta wait and see what next 1-2 gen looks like; but it'd be amazing if TS and filigran have jumped chromosome 😁

Last week I donated the pond fish (#medaka, #whiteclouds, and #notropis), today I donated the last batch of the tropical microfish (#sundadanio, #tetras) project. All that's left at home now are #guppies, #angelfish, #ancistrus, keyhole #cichlids, #corydoras and the old #kuhli loaches.
i'm not getting more corys or loaches; but they aren't disturbing any fish or eating fry so they get to stay.
will consolidate to just guppies, ancistrus, and #shrimp (neos) going forward. and my rare #plants :)

I got a new group of Full Gold #guppies the other day! Hopefully there won't be an issue with scoliosis this time. The two males I brought home also have near perfect head cover. Most of the store supplied ones have a poor head cover; which is not ideal for breeding because they are a pond line not aquarium line. Focus should be on top view.

tried to record my other female #guppy lines, but they aren't as docile as the black one 😅
hoping to get my hands on the full red koi albino female line from 2022 this year - no one has imported to europe yet and my patience is running low 😉

say what you will about the "drab" of female #guppies but i keep this line specifically because of the females. so god damn beautiful!

The #blackout finally ended. 44 hours. Tonight would have been rough compared to yesterday since it's going to be -12°C and I wouldn't be able to pull another all-nighter keeping the fire alive.
The #aquarium tanks have somehow kept warmer than the #fishscrub itself and the last measure (just now) at 13°. I'm happy to announce all #guppies (and #ancistrus) alive; albeit incredibly sluggish. Heating the room at max now so hopefully temperatures will return to sanity by the morrow!
-
This morning, most of the house was 10° but the #fishscrub had managed to retain heat at 19°C. The ambient temperature of the house has been in steady decline. Still no power. I measured 12.2°C in the #fishscrub and the coldest #aquarium at 15°C. I don't think my #guppies will survive the night 😭
If I lose them I don't know what I'll do. The irony being that I'm moving to an apartment next month where none of these issues will be present. It's like the universe has planned this out...
-
Helping my wife set up a small 10-gallon #aquarium in her music classroom, and I sent her a picture to use to explain why there aren't any fish in there yet. Feels good to be getting the cycle going without any stressed fish, but it's definitely a long process when you're already excited about what to stock the tank with.
Planning on a small school of #tetras or #guppies, a few small shrimp and a mystery snail along with some plants.

the #guppies i ordered blind finally arrived!
