Video of my magenta störzbach shorttailed guppies. They may seem a bit similar to unselected chili endlers (red scarlet endlers). But no endler influence has been used. The male line used consisted of white platinum males (blonde based) and the female line consisted of albino opal pandaguppies (blonde based but do carry the grey gene as well). Both guppy species carry the magenta gene and the störzbach gene. All offspring are born grey based and black eyed. The male offspring develop a magenta coloration with störzbach. This results in a metallic pinkish look. Further on, all males have a closed short tail with black markings. Some males show a black spot on the lower part of the chest on both sides. This is a guppy trait. The body remains slender and short. All female offspring remain grey and have black finnage. The bodyshape of the females are typical guppy. Thusfar, the next generations show the same coloration and pattern. It seems that starting from the F1, that they breed true in phenotype. But again, don't confuse this with endlers.
