Will the true guppy please stand up!

[wayne6442]

A lot of talk about guppies lately, Thought I would put up some pictures of some TRUE Guppies

SOME OF MY BOYS!

[Wraithie]

Love them Wayne! Are they natives or?

[Squiggle]

They are wild guppy's, they were released back in WWII to combat mozzies & they are definitely stunning. :victorious:

[blackcat]

So they are not endlers???? Wow they look like them :thumbup:

[Garnelchen]

True guppies are just as cute as endlers! :encouragement:

That's some good pictures you took of them Wayne.

How do they compare to endlers in size? Are they just as tiny?

[wayne6442]

I like these guppies just as much as I like my endlers, They are all about the same size as the endlers, just beautiful little fish.This particular line comes from Barneys Springs up NQ near karanda. Bob found them in a fairly isolated area. We know that they are very likely not to have had any contact with other forms of Guppies like the wild types found in coastal areas. and have been in the area for at least 60 years. They have started to breed well for me now so I should have some to spread around to members fairly soonRegardsWayne

One of those i would breed and call the 'harry potter guppy'

The male with the zig-zag (lightning strike) in black down his side ;)

[Garnelchen]

Look Wraithie! They have spots on their tails! Just like your spot-guppy!

[northboy]

Hi Wayne there is some endler look a likes out side with your name on them, car is out of action for 5 or so days, I tried to use it as a 4x4 and it did not work DAM

Bob

[CNgo2006]

Will these guppies crossbreed with endlers? Just a thought as I know zip about them...

[wayne6442]

I think they will, but I don't want to try, I want to keep them as pure as they are !

[wayne6442]

Thanks Bob, bummer with the van hope you get it fixed soon, talk to you soonwayne

[northboy]

It was my ute Wayne, you know the one that is NOT a 4x4, but some goose tried it anyway

Bob

[wayne6442]

I think somewhere in the handbook it says that these vehicles are not suitable to use as a 4x4 and bush bashing is definitely out.:cower:

[northboy]

Who read them and it takes the fun out of it, must get the 4x4 going, the shed will be under way in a couple of weeks, so next trip up Wayne we can go bush proper

Bob

[wayne6442]

Sounds like a good plan mate, now I am just trying to work out if I can with stand the 19 hour drive to Cairns without needing to weeks to get over it

[fishmosy]

Don't tell me you were trying to get to Barney Springs in your ute Bob?

[northboy]

No Ben I was launching the boat at the ramp I took you to first night

It went swimming :stupid: the farmer towed me out then home.

Bob

[wayne6442]

They are selling an old army duck at the auctions here next week, might be a good buy for you Bob:encouragement:

Bob

Bugger, how deep did she go in?

[ninja]

I bet there was some swearing coming outta your mouth, better install floaties under it then you won't need the boat?

[northboy]

Yep all the bad words were directed to my self

It went to nearly the drivers door, I have to drain the Diff, gas tank and clean it, no where near the motor so all good.

I think a Army Duck just may be an overkill LOL, it would scare the Crocs

Dirt boat ramps are no good without a 4x4

Bob

Ben one of the rocks that had Gobies one them stopped it from going all the way

[mr_c265]

My Dad live's on a property up the blue mountains, had a V8 Landcruiser 4x4 for years claiming he'd be stuffed without it.

Traded it in for a Honda Jazz, still does river crossings and the winding mud road all the way down the valley.

Just goes to show you don't need a 4 wheel drive for everything.

LOL try telling that to the idiot next door to me with the Porsche Cayenne Turbo for the trip to woolies.
