Fish Fanatic
I bought this fella's mother for fifteen cents because I felt sorry for her. She was the last big momma on site, as pregnant as a horse and bound to be nothing more than food. I had room, I had loose change .. I had a new guppy! She's brown, ugly and quite large for a wild-type. I haven't ever seen a female as large as her-she dwarfs my largest fancy female by a couple centimeters. Well, she dropped her first batch of fry and I did my best to raise them and give them a fair chance at life. I fed the failing fry to my other fish and raised the rest to adulthood, but then I came up with the problem of finding room for nine common guppies. I didn't want them in my show tank because they were outclassed by the fancies and I didn't want them in with my breeders, so I found a home that was willing to take a look at them and then decide which they wanted. I took a few pictures to show this new potential owner and then I started having second thoughts. Below is a picture of my favorite male from the bunch. He just shines in the tank and he has such vivid and clear markings next to his siblings. Do you guys think I should get rid of him, or keep him?
