Koi guppies, beautiful guppies...

[emeraldking]

Well, I do keep 4 kinds of koi guppies overhere. The albino koi, platinum koi (grey based), platinum koi (blonde based, black eyes) and tuxedo koi.
They all have got their own charm...

Nowadays there are way more koi versions on the market.

Now you have done it!!!!!!!! I have to rethink what I am going to do with my 40 gallon empty tank. I had it just about all planned out and you show me these beautiful guppies so now I have to decide do I want guppies instead and rethink the whole plan !!!!!!!!!

So, sorry that I've messed up your plans...

Ive been trying to build a colony of the albino but robust stock seems quite hard to find in the UK. Do you every sell?

Well, it´s not a hard thing to do to create a robust stock of albino koi. But, you need to take care that they won´t eat their fry. Of all the koi guppies I've kept, the albinos do chase their fry. The rest will leave their fry alone.
Not selling at the moment.

So far they have only produced 3 fry.

I originally imported 6 for Indonesia, losing 2 in transit and 2 within days of arrival. I then purchased another 8 from a local fish farm, where 6 died within a week. They were replaced by the farm, losing 3 within two days. So I’m hoping to keep the remaining fish alive. My other non Albino strains are thriving without any deaths.

Albino guppies in general aren´t the most strongest guppies to be honest...
