COLOR ON TAILS!!!!!!!!!

GUYS!!!  I noticed a few of my fry have small patches of orange on the tops of their tails.  right where the top of the back meets the fin part.  They are taking after their mother who had a bright orange tail. YAY. Gupsup is happy!!



But on another note, I culled 2 tonight.  They had really REALLY bad humped spines and I didn't want to earlier because I was hoping they might striaghten out some as they grew up. it got worse.  their fate awaits them in Reba's tank. she'll make it quick and painless.

My first guppy was a young male(maybe 2.5 months old) and I mistoke him for a female and named him Jewel, but then he got a beautiful orange/red all over him and I found that he was a HE!!! LOL he must have been a late bloomer

Some of mine are still getting color and they were late November and beginning of December batches.  One male in particular, the yellow one I mistook for female (big to boot), just a week or so ago finally got the gonopdium.  Late bloomers, go figure.  Can't rush mother nature sometimes.

how old are the fry that are showing color??? mine are a week today, and already have purple on their fins, these guppies are by far the fastest that have gotten color.

I had some at 3 weeks that were starting to show aqua and black.  But then again, I have 1 that is almost 3 months old, from the same batch, that refuses to grow up and even start to color!

I have some mollies like that.  I thought they would be ok but the tails got worse.
