that guppy is close to mine exept mine kept its fry for about 12 weeks and the spot became ruby red like it is now and it grew amazingly large not being virgin but its mother had a black spot and was a very small one im wondering how it couldbe like that because they are exactly alike

Her mother probably had one gene for gray G (none / 0) (#23)

on the body body and one for blond. The father was either blond or Gb (grey blond) and the b sperm fertilized a blond egg and that was her. (The capital initial is the dominant gene.)

Is she red? Then the coloration of the gravid spot would be expected.

If she does not have any red in her, pick up the frequency of partial water changes and watch her carefully. Any extra TLC is good. Probably she's ok, but the coloration worries me a bit.

All the best!

and is increasingly a lot of fun for me. We are however wandering from the original themes.

It is your call, as to whether to continue here or starting - as a diary. Then we have a little more space on the page. :)
