I am very partial to guppies. some of my girls are as big as large platys. I bought a feamle at wall mart a yeart ago Dec. and having been breeding the resulting fry off and on to get a few fish to keep my tanks stocked. Unfortunately with guppies I get more than a few
I have some very pretty ones--red fan shape tails with black flecks and some very black females with blue tails.
I like guppies because you never quite know what colors you will get and there is so much variation. I especially like the girls as they are fat and lazy looking but in actual fact they are eating lots of algae. The males are not as attractive in my mind as they are always thinking about sex and swimm about too quickly.
I have problems with my SAE"S eating off the flowing male tails too. Also the SAE's munch my bettas flowing tails..
