Lyratail Guppies

Hi

I've just bought 2 Lyratail guppies from my lfs and i'm soooooo pleased with them, my question is Do they need a different diet or care pattern then the other fancy breeds?

How come you never see this type of tail formation in fish shops, are they hard to get or keep? They are stunning fish i'm soooo happy

Any info would be appreciated

They are basically the same as a 'normal' guppy, but with a different shape tail. They are a little more rare than the normal guppys yes but theres still a fair few around

Thanx stix im just so exciting by this occasion in all my time of tropical fish keeping i have never seen Lyratail guppies in pet stores for sale. I was sooooo happy that i bought 2 of them to brighten up my tank and add variety to it.

They've been in my tank for 3hours and they are already trying it on with the females in my tank!!!

How does a male know that a female is carrying unfertislised eggs, does she carry a sent or something? :lol:
