Question on Blue Grass
I have purchased a pair of Blue Grass sometime ago and have a batch of fries from them. I noticed there are some fries that have some sort of red colour on their caudal and body. My question is whether this is normal for blue grass to throw out some red grass despite both parents are Blue Grass?

You can expect the fry to be blue, red and the asian blau. Its like buying 3 in 1.

Ideally you will get 50% of blue male and 50% of red male. You might get a small percentage of blau.
For most show guppy breeders, most of the time they cull the red male away (of course it could serve as a tool fish in certain aspect). If you are able to get a blau fish to mate with a red fish, you might be able to get 100% F1 blue male. That is what the commercial breeders will do for selling purpose. But it is difficult to see the performance of blau, so you run a risk of deterioration. So this is the price to play grass, you have around 50% male to select. Cheers Chiu Quote:

There are some exception though, from my experience, I use to get a line of fish that produce only blue grass and blau, but the interesting part is the female i use is not blau. I ask the breeder that sell me the fish and he cannot answer, coz he get blue, red and blau. |

The blau guppies are the ones I cull first because it can be easily spotted even when they are at fry age.
