The guppies are everywhere, they are just overlooked and no one pays attention to something that they are feeding their pets with. I wish someone who works at San Diego zoo would see these posts and check what they are feeding to the reptiles over there. There were only three that I knew were color changers, but who knows how many more were there.
I'm trying to breed some more, but its really hard. One guppy I have seems to color change, but there isn't enough color on its tail and it doesn't change that often, so it probably isn't one.
And its cool that you guys had some color changers. Those weren't as dramatic as mine, sometimes his whole design would change. There were four main designs he would have, plain, one color, orange with a pink stripe through the center of his tail, and even one color bordered by black, and orange or yellow with a black and pink(or blue) spot. He was a pure guppy, or the trait is, since I bought his mother from a guy who had a guppies and mollies and platies and who knows what else in a single pond. I know it is a guppy trait because it only shows up in guppies, specifically feeders. Imagine a fancy guppy that would change color and design multiple times a day! That is my ultimate goal. Find another color changer and breed it with a fancy, and see if I can't make the trait carry.
