I found this lone little guy at the pet store! They had no idea where he came from or that he was even there. looks like blond japan blue double sword, but the caudal fin is too green for that lineage. Am now breeding him with one of my blond females who carry lower sword and snakeskin gene. Let's see what comes of it! 😅

finally! it just took a year! +perfect timing! i'm in the middle of retooling my hobby. getting rid of everything except:

- #angelfish pair (230l tank)
- #kribs pair (54l tank)
- #bettas (6x 43l breeder tanks)
- #guppies (3x 110l tanks)
- #CPD (54l tank)

as well as #ancistrus, #neocaridina and #aquariumplants, to maximize gains per tank. these are all the best to breed for trade- always in demand. good prices. only missing #medaka and #espei. no space tho.

Anything but delta is so much nicer!

Why are these types of guppies not more mainstream?

"The authors of this latest paper decided to test the Ebbinghaus illusion across two species that inhabit very different sensory environments: ring doves and guppies."

At the end of last year, I wrote a rather lengthy article for the swedish guppy club newsletter, hoping it would be published in the january 2025 release. Sadly, they haven't published it yet, apparently there has been too few contributions this year and they have yet to publish any newsletter at all.

It would be a waste to have it go unpublished, so I just finished translating it and posted it to my Medium.

I did something I didn't think I'd ever do... I handed in some ~200 #guppies (most of my lines) and some ~2kg of #aquarium #moss to my LFS in exchange for #cichlids.

My plan going ahead is to focus first and foremost on larger species, keep just 6 large tanks with minimal maintenance instead of 28 small breeders that need daily work.

I'm also determined to switch my aquarium #plants focus to "minimal-work" #bucephalandra with possibly a small selection of other #rareplants.

Singa Red Lace Double Sword just arrived in Sweden from Taiwan for one of our guppy club members. Definitely know what just got bumped to my no. 1 spot on the wishlist! 😍
