Jul 20, 2015 · Hey all, new to the forum but not new to breeding, haven't done any selective breeding yet though. I have a nice strain of metallic blue guppies and just picked up some black moscows. The question is mainly, if I want to give the Metallics a nice black body and keep a blue / aoc tail, would the...

Nov 19, 2016 · The Moscow coloration consists of many genes, but mostly they are Y-linked traits (meaning that the genes that code for the Moscow traits are on the Y chromosome). If you want a dark blue, almost black, like in the second pic, you will probably need to cross him to a HB female then choose some male offspring that show a dark blue color.

Aug 20, 2020 · So I went to purchase a trio of black Moscow guppies and the guy was so nice I ended up for no extra charge with 13 total fish 2 breeding males some female and fry. He dropped 2 names of people well known in guppy world where these came from but I forgot names.

Jun 13, 2012 · Generally, they have a fuller body color and tend to be large for a guppy. As well, the females also display a lot of color. I have had the black, blue, green and purple strains here in the past. Here is a shot of a young male Black Moscow guppy.

Dec 17, 2020 · Alright y’all, I’ve officiated caved. I’ve been wanting some Purple Moscow Guppies for a while, so when the weather gets back up to the 50-60s at night in a few months, I’m gonna do it! I’ve got a 10g is like to use for a trio, so does anyone know …

Jun 14, 2020 · Hello, I’m wondering if anyone knows where to purchase a breeding pair or trio of white Moscow guppies? I’ve looked online and there’s only one person I’ve found who will potentionally sell the females (they sell fry so I’ll have to grow them out and I may or may not get a female and male). My LFS only carries the males.

Jun 22, 2018 · Hello all, I recently bought an A+ grade BLUE moscow guppy and the shop I bought it from gave me this BLACK male moscow guppy as a free present. Now I am not sure if I just got it for free because the guppy is crooked. His body from head to tail is not strait but more a boomerang shape, or a...

Feb 26, 2020 · Not all males will have a good black cover of black on the blue of their body. The blue and black come from the moscow gene they carry. But they also do carry the pink gene (with the dwarf growth gene connected) which comes from the pingu influence. That's why female panda guppies do look pretty similar to the pingu guppy females.

Feb 28, 2014 · Moscow is a y-linked gene, so if you breed a moscow male to a non-moscow female you will get moscow sons and non-moscow daughters As for the rest of the traits, can't really say, you're going to get a wide variety of fish whenever you mix strains so different.

Jul 24, 2011 · Yes I think you should definitely get some more experience with fish before you try to breed. Maybe a more common type of guppy so you can get to know the fish before you spend a bit of money on a nice strain would be best. First thing you need to learn about is the nitrogen cycle (just click on the underlined name).
