If you are in to a just breeding a pet fish, everything is very simple. Just buy a pair of pet fish on your local fish store and leave the pair on your tank and nature will just do its thing. But if you are really serious in having the best and finest pet fishes, you need to have extra effort as well as sound knowledge in doing the process.
I bumped into a complete guide for guppy fish breeding online and it gives me information about what to look on for the best males and females for breeding. I simply followed the simple procedures on the e-book and after a few months when the fries were born, it looks like I hit a bull’s eye. The guppy fries sold a lot. I even sold it for $50 (US) for a trio. You may check it here: Breeding Guppy Fish.
Here are the things to look into:
Plan
You cannot get all the qualities in one guppy fish, it may take several generations of doing selective breeding to have one that stands up. Guppy fish breeding takes time and may need a lot of patience. Decide first if you are into color, size or physique you want to develop. Having the best guppy fish for breeding does not only happen in one gestation. It may take several generations from different parents to have the best pairs.
Selecting the best guppy fish pairs for breeding.
Once you decided to breed your pet guppy, I would suggest not buying from fish stores. What you get on those stores is the culled quality. I would personally suggest go on your local online networking community and search for hobbyist or try to visit for hobbyist in your neighborhood. Once, you get the best quality guppies; buy a dozen pairs to ensure there is a higher rate of breeding in case one or two dies. Then, buy again from another hobbyist. This should ensure you that you will not have all the off springs from inbreed strains. Inbreed strains means a guppy fish have a blood line from a mother and father that are on the same family. Inbreed strains have a weak immune system and may not reach their expected life spans.
