that sole surviving fry of the super rare and hard to get fish which took me 4 years to track down took nearly 2 years to reach maturity and is indeed a female! now pregnant, after being exposed to the last two male for the past 6 months. separated them just in case anyone decides to go cannibal.

here's for hoping she has no complications with delivery and gives at least one male fry with the spotted gene and a few more females to start a proper colony!

tried to record my other female #guppy lines, but they aren't as docile as the black one 😅

hoping to get my hands on the full red koi albino female line from 2022 this year - no one has imported to europe yet and my patience is running low 😉

say what you will about the "drab" of female #guppies but i keep this line specifically because of the females. so god damn beautiful!

It's ironic how #guppies and #platys are both the starter fish where everyone begin their #aquarist journey, and often the final destination of said journey.

Sure, I didn't touch either one as I never enjoyed how they look or behave (save for FRA/BRS).

But after putting so much work and time into various species over the years. #Livebearers (particularly #endlers, guppies, platys and #swordtails) is such a breeze to work with; and I now appreciate why people choose to go this route in the end.
