Endlers & Guppies

I think I have a hermaphrodite Guppy

I had noticed this guppy in the tank for a while, originally I thought it was a male when younger, then perhaps a female due to its size and the other males trying to mate with it and now I am thinking its a hermaphrodite. If it is and it is pregnant as it appears to be in the photos are its young likely to survive? Have congentical defects? Be more likely to carry the trait? Has any one else had a similar guppy?

The main points for guessing its an hermaphrodite excluding colour (we have very colourful females with broad tails and long dorsal fins)

* Size and body shape, has female body in shape and size

* Appears to have a gonopodium instead of a squared off anal fin like a female.

  I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

  Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied. All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

  You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
