Default Project HB Red

Since the guppy fans are quite quiet lately. I decided to take a couple of snap shots to entice some discussion. Actually I took a couple of dozens only a few turn up clearer than the others.

So some background of my HB Red F1 Outcross.

Male HB Red (near perfect delta, grey) x Female Flamingo (F1, round tail, blonde)

And the results displayed. 100% grey HB Red. The male didn't survive fin nipping from the females. Died of external wounds or maybe accelarated by old age (was with me for a long time, some of my 1st batch guppies that survived the holocaust kekeke). I guess he had a great life being harem with 3 other females

So the result of my best males, in terms of coloration is much better than the father since the father had kind of whitish dorsal. Now my best males had redder dorsals. The downside is they seemed to lose the near perfect delta tail the father once had. So I guess it needed mucho work.

Enjoy.....
