    After inviting the brand new year 2013, it's time to prepare ushering in the Chinese New Year of the Snake!
    Sharing this pair of 'snakelings' I bought from a renowned Taiwanese breeder last week overseas.
    Hopefully they'll mature fast in Feb for the year of the Snake! *Hisss...

    Very interesting. I haven't seen such good quality guppies in Singapore for a long time. I suppose from the number of postings on different strains of guppies, you should have quite a lot of tanks at home?

    Back then, I only have 2 60L tanks, for propagating the blond snakeskin and platinum speartails and dozens of plastic containers for fry and hybrid strains. Just looking at these photos makes me want to keep 1 or 2 strains just for fun...

    Yes, I used to be be there way back in 2006 or so although I started breeding guppies in 2003. Bred many strains along the way until sometime in my National Service that I gave them up altogether. Over time, some breeders may feel burnt out simply maintaining the strains that they already have and begin creating new strains. It can be very exciting, just like how the German breeder, Franz Zeipelt created the Red Lace snakeskin.

    A big tank can be very useful for breeding guppies especially for me. I started out with some blond snakeskin speartail and in another tank, some platinum speartail and over time, they populate the entire tank. In fact, a tankful of guppies can be really stunning.
