Nays Guppy Journal

[fry_forever!]

could you try and make a simple family tree of your fish since the start [doesn't need to include d.o.b etc or pics, tho pics would be good ]

ME!? Or BlueGuppy? If you're talking to me, oh gawd no!
There are like, 3 different ones, (The main trunks, at least.)
But, if you insist....
I actually have it written down.... Let me find my journal....
You ARE, talking to me, right??

I was talking to blue guppy, but nobody is stopping you xD

But BlueGuppy already made a family tree type thing? Right?
Oh! I'm confused!
W/E, I'll make a family tree, but it MAY take a while!
And I don't name most of my fish, so it will be slightly more complicated...
AHHH!!!! I lost my journal! (you think I'd be a little more organized than that.... )
Well then, I guess I'll just do the best that I can.
Here goes:
This is starting from 1 or 2 years ago, I believe.
It all started with 4 guppies, Blaze, (female) and 3 others I forgot the names of.
Blaze had quite a few batches of fry, but none of the fry ever survived.
One day, I found one little fry in my tank, and he was so strong! I named him Howie. (Turned out "Howie" was a girl! )
Um, then she had fry, (4) and my friend took them. The dad was a yellow snakeskin guppy.
(Sorry, low-tech... The pictures are wiped off of my memory card on the camera, so I only have the actual photos in the album.... )

So, my friend raised the fry in her 29 gallon tank. All 3 were males. =)
Flame, Charlie and Polka-Dots.

(Those are actually them... YAY!)
Okay, so they had a whole bunch of fry with a whole bunch of females....
NOW, for the next one, that ties Howie's kids with the females in my friend's tank.
Kay, so I had a black female. (Kinda' just a feeder guppy...)
And some other females that mostly had black and blue as their main coloring:

BTW, the yellow and black male in the video is the son of the black feeder guppy and the yellow snakeskin male. He's a stunner!
The females had at least 30 fry, (which was A LOT for me at the time...) and like, all of them survived. I gave some to my friend again, but most came out with black, blue and yellow tails. (REALLY cool!) One 3rd generation one actually came out with a yellow body and a bright blue tail with black rimming!
This is what my tank looked like last year with all the growing fry:

(It actually turned out to be a 16 gallon though! )
So yeah, then a red male & female came along somewhere in the patterns, now half of the guppies have red tails and multicolored bodies, while the rest keep that yellow, black and blue coloring.
Well, that's all I can think of, else I'm going to be delving DEEPLY in thought. I'm too tired...
