A cull animal is one you do not want to keep. The reasons may be many, deformity, illness, poor production, poor progeny or you simply have too many so you "cull them".

If you have a breeding programme for your fish, you may want to cull the deformed or those that have had deformed fry, the slow growers, the ones that don't conform to your colour standards/shape/size or the ones who seem prone to disease.

That's how I understand it anyway.

Thanks for all of your explenations. I don't breed guppies, since I have all males, but now I don't have to wonder what people mean when they use the term "cull". Once again, thank you.
