WHAT!?!? My guppy got its color from my GSP??? *pic*

Post by sparks42 »

So I have 2 GSPs.... I've had for 2 and 3 years... and I've had red and blue guppies in with them as well... for like 5 or 6 months.

Now all of a sudden there is a young guppy and its yellow with black spots, just like my GSPs!!! None of my guppies have any yellow on them and i haven't had any yellow ones in there so.....

I don't know how guppy genes work, but maybe its just yellow genes were in the other fish the whole time but they did not show because they were recessive ??
But its so strange it see it there.... same pattern as my puffers, so different from the rest of the guppies.

:?:



- lovin my Chomper

I believe you have small mud puddles mixed up with acres of rice paddies.

The day after I posted this, my yellow guppy with black spots died :( Chomper ate him.
All the red and blue guppies are still well.
SO strange!
