Most Popular Guppy Fish Pictures #2

Mosaic Guppy - Guppy fish varieties with the Mosaic genes show shades or pattern of wavy lines on the Guppy fin. Its characteristic are blue color pattern at the base of the tail and stretching to the fin tail. The pattern always has a regular arrangement amongst blue with yellow or dark blue with red. To maintain Mosaic gene on guppy fish is not easy, its must be crossed to other genes to produced a Mosaic genes with beautiful pattern.

Grass Guppy - Grass is the development of Mosaic guppy. The Grass genes are shown from the pattern of the dorsal fin and tail fin of guppy in the dot spotting form or a fine knife form with black or dark blue color . The shape of grass node turned out to provide a different color. Grass patterned fine blade appear on the red grass guppy while the dots pattern on the blue grass guppy. But now, both varieties has a fine-dots patterns. In the early emergence of Grass varieties, the dorsal fin color was transparent so often called a glass grass.

Leopard Guppy - The Leopard guppy characterized by thick dots scattered randomly on the fins with a dark blue color to black. The possibility of gene varieties developed from the Mosaic, but also be found in crosses between Cobra Guppy with plain color guppy types. Now this type is quite rare because this guppy fish species is less favored by the hobbies

Cobra Guppy - Cobra genes marked with a complexion like a snake skin on the entire body of male guppy with the color combination of black, white or yellow. There are many guppy fish with cobra stripe because this is the first pattern that since can be identified. Changes in genes which are common on the type of cobra is known as "lace". The lace gene has a pattern that is more subtle and complex. Because very easily to crossbreeding, cobra pattern can also be found in the female guppy.

Metallic Guppy - Naming refers to the color blue or dark metallic gray on the body of a male guppy fish. The most common is the type of Metallic Cobra which is a combination of metallic genes and cobra genes. This varieties has a metallic-colored on head and chest and the rear body patterned cobra.

Japan Blue Guppy - The Japan Blue type thought to have originated from wild guppy populations in Japan. Characteristics of this type is the presence of blue sky at the side of male guppy, because other genes influence the color can vary from purple to turquoise. Recent developments of the Japan Blue type is Lazuli Guppy which generaly has a blue color on the head and tail.

Pink White Guppy - The characteristics of this guppy type is a white color pink at the base of guppy tail. This species recently identified by the source of unknown origin.

Generally cover the rear half of guppy body. Tuxedo genes in addition to providing coloring effects, also influence the size of the fin. Tuxedo guppy fish tend to have larger fins.

Is Guppy The Result of Genetic Engineering?

This freshwater ornamental fish species are from the United States, Central America, and South America. The beautiful guppy fish ( in latin: poecilia) has a nickname as a thousand fish and its existence can now be found almost in the waters around the world.

Guppy fish originally introduced to controlling mosquitoes, but because the color is beautiful and has many variations so that when they swim like the cowboys in paradise, now Guppy fish better known as one of the popular ornamental fish in the world.

Small size, rapid growth, and varying colors make this cowboy fish is often used as a material practice in genetics. Coupled with the development of breeding technique conducted by both practitioners or by the hobbies has implemented many colors and varieties of Guppy with a variety of fin. It is said that dorsal fin on the sparkling neon Guppy fish is the result of genetic engineering with the jellyfish DNA injected and you can find other guppy fish pictures here...
