OMG Fish48 i soooooooooo want one!!! OMG there amazing!!!

I was never interested in guppys i had seen in LFS, but seen some endlers and was wow the colours, so tried to source some good quality endlers, but then i found wild guppies

There is some amazing wild guppys just a shame they tend to be feeder fish and are rather hard to track down in the UK.

So how many wild strain/colour variations are there, I'm totally smitten with the wild type guppys and what some diffrent colour variants.

1000's

fish from the same area but only a few miles apart have developed their own form of colouration.

Just search for guppy from Trinidad and Tobago.
Dr Peter Burgess had a large collection trip in the mid 90's where he collected around 30 collections of wild guppies and each location had it's own guppy type which he took back to the UK, i had a 2-3 locations and each type breed true which i had over 3-4 years before passing them on.

The Japanese blues i got was collected from a river in Japanese in the late 80's and only got into the UK about 5 years ago

Any yet with so many wild types out there, we mainly see the fancy type. Such a shame
