I bred guppies from 1960 until 1980. I was always thrilled by the endless color variations. I'm totally blown away by what I just saw in this video. I never saw anything like what now exists in the world of guppies. They have magnificent coloration which I never dreamed of. Thanks for the update.
Being from Trinidad, collecting guppies as a child was a very common occurrence 😉. And we do have more varieties than what John Guppy took to England all those years ago. The most common variety is one that was referred to as the 'seven colours'...multicoloured and small it may very well be an Endler.
I don't care what variety of guppy I have, as long as it doesn't have a black waist and tail, but does have the rainbow colors & those spots (preferably multiple spots).
Thank you very much for the information!!🙏 I've been raising guppies for years and watching videos upon videos & this is the 1st time anyone has ever made it crystal clear & not to mention the history Thank you 🙏
Recently added guppies to my community tank and suddenly I am in love with them. The Tequila Sunrise guppies added so much color and top swimming that my tank needed. This is a great video it is very helpful to see the various colors so I can plan a future addition or maybe a whole new tank.
Thanks for sharing. We are getting into line breeding. I've been looking at options for breeding trios. Pet shops are out!! Not crazy about buying expensive fish sight unseen ( Ebay ). At least at the IFGA shows we can bid on placed, or show breeders. Actually talk to the breeders. Information is a must. Another plus to me is..... all the showers are here with the best of the best in their fish breeding program. We are looking forward to next year's Doop South Show, which is less than 50 miles from the house.
You could go collect microbes in a creek or stream and put them into your tank. Your guppies will love it and you'l never have to feed them again. My guppies are even plus size. Don't forget to feed the microbes some dead leaves.
Because their species names differ, wingei (endlers) and reticulata (guppies) aren't the same species. They are in the same genus because they share the same genus name, Poecilia. This system is especially important when breeding as taxonomic charts will coincide with naming conventions to show their DNA similarities. Conversely, the further they are taxonomically the more difficult it will be to produce hybrids. There are different BREEDS of guppies that are all Poecilia reticulata (in the same species). And just like dog breeds, these breeds of guppies will produce viable offspring.
It is a good point and yes they have been designated distinct species, but Heiko Bleher's argument is that they should not have been presented to the Smithsonian as separate species and the governing board there should not have recognized them as separate species. He believes they are the same, just one is a smaller variation of the other. But in the end he loses the argument, they get to keep their species names.
I heard some breeders are more protective of their lines if they know you’re a breeder. Try ordering thru a friend to a different address. One breeder in Australia got females of a rare pleco that way. 😃👍
Why are females Guppies from the store (pet smart) so colorful? All my females that i have bred are grey with a colorful tale. My females never have a full colored body. Anyone know why?
Some Sri Lanka bred female guppies have good body color, but the more traditional females from Thailand and Singapore have color in the tail and only faint color on the body. Petsmart guppies, from what I have heard, are imported from Singapore.
There’s no physical difference between guppies based on geographic differences, only reason for differences between countries would be Asian countries using brackish water
That's not true. Allopatric speciation exists with ALL living species, especially guppies. Additionally there is scientific research that contradicts your statement and the video from the channel Fishtory, explains it all in, "Guppy History & Mindblowing New Research on Guppies Genetic Ability To Choose Their Pattern & Color"
@@ChadGardenSinLA allopathic specification is from isolation over time hundred if not thousands of years, Asian breeding of guppies is a 21 century trend, Moscow guppies in Thailand aren’t different from geography but genetic crossing of lines
Hello all I was just looking at this string. Points are all correct really but the point I was making in the video (which is also correct) is that BRED traits of all guppies imported from Sri Lanka have larger bodies, smaller tails than the traditional BRED Thailand guppies (Singapore imports also use the traditional small body large tail like Thailand guppies). So I am not implying that there is a natural wild guppy in any of those regions with different physical traits, I am referring to the guppies available to the hobby that we import from breeders by region. Nice to be in a hobby where we can actually have these kind of conversations.

I Have guppies,i have few guppies in our home,they were easy and cheap to feed ,and they give relaxation watching them in the aquarium.....

I like that you included some history because I am interested in stuff like that.
So do we :) hope to see you on the next one ☝️
Endler and Guppies are my absolute favorite favorites!!!!!

Guppies video is simple n inteteresting n its really nice to watch.🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😎😎😎🤓🤓🤓💪💪💪🤚🤚🤚👌👌🤚👍👍👍👍
Excellent video! Thanks for highlighting the different varieties!
You’re so welcome!
Wow that was most informative 😁 thank you.
thanks for the info!
Be checking out the store for sure. Good vid
sick video learnt a lot keep up with the good work...

so cool with that tanks and beautiful of fish
Great show.. i learned alot
it called a blonde tuxedo because og the body color. guppys come in two under body colors which are grey or blondish yellow.
Good clarification
Great video!
Great video, very informative
Thank you!
Very nice video. I love my red cobra guppies
would love to see a video on crayfish!
구피에 관한 상세한 정보 감사해요 ❤

cool video. our older guppies are all dying now. there are 3 yrs old is that normal.
Yeah that’s about right. 2-3 years. Sad isn’t it?
@@thefishfiles yep
Need filler pump and thnx for lesson very interesting
My damn guppies won't stop breeding!
The Island of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean was where the Guppy was first discovered and originated and named
Lots of nice fish in Bang Cock.
I have a white breed of guppy and a breed of guppy that has a purple head and a red belly I need to know what they are? Could you help me out please 😊
Any way to share a picture? Are you able to breed the same color pattern or is this just a one off?
Human are also live bearers
I have blue tuxa
Why are females Guppies from the store (pet smart) so colorful? All my females that i have bred are grey with a colorful tale. My females never have a full colored body. Anyone know why?

2:08 look like Praecox rainbowfish, though, not Guppys 😂.
Oh my gosh you are right! My producer is learning his fish fast but boy he grabbed to wrong shot on that one
