Baby's first colors!
By lomelindi from the proud mommy department, Section Diaries Posted on Wed Aug 29, 2007 at 01:39:56 PM PST Tags: (all tags)

Sorry for the not-stunning image quality, but... bad digital cam and a fast-moving, tiny fry in bad lighting conditions.. yaknow.

But he's got jellybeans all down his side, just like the fish I assume is his father, Prettyboy II...

It seems like all four are males.. though it's hard to tell. One is sort of bordering on gonopodium-hood.

Just had to share... :)

Hey lomelindi thay are better pics than some I've seen.

Now I know nothing about Endlers but am wondering if your first pic is an Endler (or a cross) and not a pure guppy?? Wish unc was here, he's probably be able to tell you.

Cheers

The first fish, a baby, is the offspring of a pure guppy, and either the next fish down, or an unknown pet store male. I always wondered if Prettyboy, the adult male in the picture, was part Endler because of his markings.

Congratulations! He does indeed look to have similar coloring to "daddy". Do they all look like that or is he the one with the most colors?
*BEFORE you buy fish make sure you understand what "Cycling" a tank means <- quoted from miskaral* ~Trying to make a difference one fish at a time~

He's the one with the most colors.. he also has a funny little line along each edge of his tail, in black The other fish don't have much color to them.. the one recovering from a funny little pintail has a black tail and dorsal, and another has some possibly yellowish and black markings.. the forth so far looks to be female, because he's completely grey... gonopodium and all. So I suppose the rest is just a waiting game.
