... crisscross and plumbum

Hi folks, somebody asked me, what the hell I am doing. Yes I am still reticulated :) So I took some pics of my fish & results :

Metarika (Y-Linked) and Mosaic (X-Linked) in combination.

petshopboy: light blue topsword "wingei" with black dorsal fin! Gorgeous trait to combine it with my topswords! I will cross it into one of my line, to introduce this trait!

Also found in petshop...a very nice fancystrain..with yello dorsal fin and hyalin caudal fin. Big black markings...similar to Santa Maria - but different! Will take a cross to my topsswords, too.

Done by myself: Redchest Magenta Shortail...awefull red!

Got 15 males of a batch from an Metalhead Snakeskin Spadetail from Marcel. If they are afraid they looks like copper...if in sunny mood...it turns to plumbum. Cannot say what it is...or what to do with these guys. cheers tobi

Hi, sometimes I have to seperate single females, breeding pairs or small litters of my fish. For this I am using such 4 Litre Boxes, which are placed in my little rack you can see at the pictures. I installed such LED -lights to let the water-fern and mooses grow/survive. And below the rack I attached some rolls to make it movable. So have a look now:

Hi, last weekend I visited a young guppy-breeding newcomer. Rocco (also known as "corthax") from Dresden. We talked a lot and visited the IGMX European Masters Competition...I also took a few pics in his Guppyroom:
