No one’s posted yet so I figured I’d get the ball rolling. This little guy is a 5th or so generation guppy, hailing from my original guppies I bought 2 years ago. He’s still young so his tail isn’t full grown yet, but he’s already showing some lovely coloring. He’s in a male (almost pure) guppy 29 gallon tank. The exceptions being a clown pleco and a Cherry shrimp that got carried in on a plant. I have Japanese trap door snails as my cleanup crew that recently dropped a batch of kiddos that are very cute and tiny.

The little guy has a lil but of scoliosis. If you look closely you can see it, but it’s straightened out as he’s grown. He doesn’t have a name: mostly because after naming the first 100 or so guppies I just got tired lol. But I do know he’s the great great something grandkid of my favorite female guppy that was one of the OG I bought. And I’ve just slowly bred together more and more fish and now I’m getting guppies with nice solid blue bodies! Taken a lot of effort, with more misses than hits. But I’m happy.

Hexno (guppy)

• species, age, tank mates, tank size, name you gave it , unique traits, feedings, etc

Hello! This is my guppy (Poecilia Reticulata) named after my online name, "Hexno". He fits the name so well so I just named him that! I believe he is something of a Red dragon Halfmoon dumbo guppy. His dorsal fin is very large but it is not apparent in the photos
He lives happily in an very densely planted 75g with my other Poecilia reticulata, Xiphophorus (Helleri x Variatus and Variatus), Trichopodus leerii, Corydoras (Anaeus and Paleatus), and various types of "pest snail"
He is super energetic, and pretty young, his fins have not fully grown in yet.
He loves to eat, and dance to show off.
I feed them Omega one foods like Shrimp pellets, freeze dried blood worms, freeze dried brine shrimp, frozen brine shrimp, San Francisco Bay frozen blood worms, Hikari Micro pellet and Hikari fancy guppy, and many other things that I feed less that I cannot remember clearly.

This is one of my wild variatus platy species (Xiphophorus variatus Tampico). Just picked one out of the tank. It's an adult male. The amount of black and the hue of yellow also differ per individual specimen.
It's a platy breed that you won't find at an average lfs. But the black won't cover the whole body. It's mostly the lower part of the body that's covered in black.
As most members know, I do have a huge interest in keeping wild livebearer specimens. So, this will be my entry this time...

This is my guppy Bee I do not know what breed or coloration his ancestors Had because I got him from our local pet store which is amazing as you can see he has those amazing luminescent patterns on his side and just so you know this image took 20 minutes of waiting for the right position to take this I feed him the tropical tiny fish flakes and he lives in a 10 gallon with his 2 brothers and 5 mystery snails i hope to breed him with another pretty female to get more of his patterns because they are stunning when the light catches in the right place he’s very energetic when it comes to food but he also likes to hide in the plants and try’s to catch the algae wafers when I drop them in for the snails /chases after them as fast as his little guppy tail can take him.
