![]() ![]() This time, 4 out of 6 males came in the color we want. We still have some dark red guppies in the group but the numbers are still pretty good. It was difficult to try to get him to breed with the available ladies but when it was finally said and done, I got this group of fry. The male from this population that I chose is brighter than the original male but I think I prefer this more vibrant red anyway. Since she only had 4 females, I have a much smaller testing population, but that makes it much easier to get what I want. She produced lots of males (10 to be exact) and 4 were ideal. Since I had so many other females to breed him with anyway, I decided to move on.Īttempt two, with F16 was much better. I bred him with F25, one of my females, and found that together they only produced one male that looked like this guppy.Īs promising as 1 ideal male is, it still isn’t that good. I started by choosing a male closest to the color that I wanted. The guppy packs don’t come ‘pre-settled’ so it’s important to have homozygous populations to work with before you start breeding. The first example it gives you is to try to stabilize a population of Red Tail guppies. I don’t have the patience to sit and wait for weeks at a time for guppies to be born, you know!Īnyway, the manual actually comes with instructions if you’d like to start working with guppies. While I have the option of creating pretty tanks that don’t involve breeding, I also have the option to create new strains of guppies, angelfish and discus! I’ll be focusing strictly on guppies for now and I’ll be taking full advantage of “Time Warping”. Don’t click away just yet! It isn’t that kind of aquarium sim! I don’t think I’ve mentioned it to any of you but I’ve been playing an aquarium sim game called Aquazone for about a year now.
