old home month

guppy girl checked in

at the beginning of the month, here I am at the end of it. I have continued to keep guppies and am developing my own strain of snakeskins with the recessive bar gene which makes the snake pattern break up into stripes on the back half of the body (vertical from top to bottom of peduncle, called tigrinus or zebrinus genes) I now have about 20 tanks, 5 big ones with about 15 satellite tanks for fry and various breeding groups and I keep 4 separate strains besides my own and my works in progress, including Unclescott's endlers. still lurking out here.. still learning.

Is there an image of yours or one on the net of what you are doing with the barred pattern? What are the other strains?

I like your designation of satellite tanks for those with breeders, youngsters or fry of a strain. Got only two eggs of a certain killie to hatch this week. I hate to tie up a bowl or tankling (2.5-gal) for only two fry. But <sigh> I need to guarantee another generation and promised a friend out east a pair.

Their parents are young but should become prolific, as have their ancestors over the last 15 years or so. May let the fry swim with freshly hatched mosquito larvae until they can swim with Moina and then Daphnia. Feed 'em up, grow 'em up.

And by then there should be siblings in other satellite containers.

All the best!
