Green/Blue Moscows

[Melcaara]

I've a couple of green Moscows that I've been enjoying breeding. I'm buying some unrelated blue Moscows to add back genetic diversity and then I'll start again with line breeding to get what I want. This is the only type of guppy I have that is able to be shown in the USA's IFGA, so I may try to aim for that proper tail shape and coloration.

That being said, I'm curious about crossbreeding them xD does anyone have an example of a blonde based green/blue instead of grey?

As being moscows, the base color is alwaays grey and never blond. But it's doable to create a full blue one with a blond base color. It may take time for the first specimens from such crossings will be light blue to start with. A number of times a grey bodied specimen should be crossed into thenew line to enhance the blue. But the ones you should collect should be blonde based ones and grey bodied ones that carry the blond gene recessively to create a total blond bodied dark blue second color to cover the whole body. And when it's blond bodied, they should be called full blue instead of moscow blue. And the grey bodied ones I've mentioned should be females for moscow females carry the dominant moscow gene and not the males. A moscow male may show the full blue body but it's the female that carry the dominat trait.
And when it comes to the non moscow blonde specimen that will be used as a F0 breeding parent, use a blond Japan blue specimen. For such a specimen already carries the light blue trait.

Oh! I didn't realize the grey body was important to calling it a Moscow. I think I'll add making a full blue to my breeding plans then >

The socalled red moscow is actually just a full red guppy strain with a blond base no matter black eyed nor red eyed. Commercial trade called them red moscow to make it more interesting and to raise the price.
