Re: The thought of creating a guppy strain..
Fixing a Guppy strain depends on what you want your strain to look like.
I assume you don't mean to begin with a wild type guppy and taking it to your ultimate goal since that took a few human generations to create today's fancy Guppy strains.
It is much easier to begin with established lines of Guppies then combine them to achieve the traits you desire.
It is best to buy your initial breeding stock from Guppy specialists who already have pure breeding strains.
They would be your raw material.
You will need to segregate the sexes of the fry your raw material provides so you can have complete control over which fish are bred together.
If you could describe what your goal is then others could suggest the most promising lines of Guppies to begin your breeding program.
Old fish breeder. SA Dwarf Cichlids, Hypancistrus sp L260, L333 and Peckoltia L134 breeder. Also Sturisoma, Dwarf Corydoras spp, wild Discus and Killiefish. Like breeding Characins and wild Betta spp too.
