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! 😅

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It would be a waste to have it go unpublished, so I just finished translating it and posted it to my Medium.

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 😉

There is an entire subset of #aquarium enthusiasts who care more about behavior than the colors or shape.
To these #aquarists #guppies are meh. Heck, even some veteran #guppy folks will attests that guppies don't offer much in terms of interesting behavior.
But over time, I have seen a lot of surprising behavior. i.e. A #betta biting a male guppy followed by an entire swarm of angry black-eyed guppies collectively attacking said betta. Or one of my females who have learned to "unlock" pellets.

I put together a simple fish list of my current stock. Albeit only the stuff I'm actively breeding in 2024 (none of my short term "curiosities" are listed).

It's ironic how #guppies and #platys are both the starter fish where everyone begin their #aquarist journey, and often the final destination of said journey.
Sure, I didn't touch either one as I never enjoyed how they look or behave (save for FRA/BRS).
But after putting so much work and time into various species over the years. #Livebearers (particularly #endlers, guppies, platys and #swordtails) is such a breeze to work with; and I now appreciate why people choose to go this route in the end.

Guppies are a classic example of #parallelevolution but are they really so parallel? An analysis of published #guppy papers by @alexisheckley @AllegraPearce4 @photopidge @ecoevoevoeco @KristaOke
shows low extent of parallelismhttp://ow.ly/s8S450LLUG9
