I thought it might be helpful to list what fish we actively keep. Also any Aquatic species we may have available to others?
I keep guppies. I've played with live bearers for 30 years. My first guppies were "wild caught swordtails". I now have full red, including albino; snakeskin; blue leopard; and a lot of different blues(1/2 black topaz, full blue moscows(midnight color) etc... I'm currently trying to develop a tiger body with solid tail/dorsal.
I've had about 50 species of Plecos over the last 10 years. Some very rare. Currently I'm playing with bristle nose. Mostly long fin, and a lot of albino.
I have had angels, yellow labs, electric blues and discus.
I also raise and sometimes show dogs(harlequin Great Danes). Knowledge of color genetic is a big bonus here, which directly translated to guppy fun. I love to theorize on dominant and recessive traits, then see if theories prove true. This means that some of the guppies I keep may not be a set a strain as some would prefer.
And I'm also working with "Dalmatian" platies to see which colors can carry the spots.
