Going to wipe out all other kind of females this time, leaving super whites only. This morning found one of my super white female had a split tail. Guess must be the act of the 1/2 black female again.
Errr sorry for interupting. I don't think superwhites exists in black eyed form. Superwhites are created by a combination of 3 recessive genes of the guppy that is aabbrr. Without any of the genes superwhite will not form. Ng, betui ka what I'm babbling?

a is the albino gene. Therefore causing the red eye. Normal guppy eyes is AA while albinism carrier is Aa. On the other hand b is the blond gene (guessing only not very sure myself) and r is actually the red/blue gene. rr will cause blue pigmentation therefore the superwhites will be a little bit bluish. RR on the other hand will cause red color. To create superwhites you'll be all aabbrr.

AA will also cause the guppy greybody unless it is coupled with bb/gg which is the blond/gold body. But come to think about it there can be normal superwhites also. Aiyo pening liao.

Anybody betui or not my postulation????
