This is for Chefjamesscott, but everyone else is welcome too 
These are some photos to show my old line of guppies I call "Redbacks". I'd been developing it for 4 years when someone put 5 large Goldfish in their tank & all but wiped them out.
Ideally, they're meant to have a solid black body, with brilliant orange or red fins. Females are the same, but are permitted to have a blue dorsal & a bright yellow colour on their other fins, but any lighter & they're no good.
These fish are 6th or 8th generation, & I'd hybridised the previous few generations with wild type guppies to remove some birthing problems & allow them to be slightly more hardy. This unforunately gave me a blue wash over most of the fish.
I was lucky enough to save 1 male & 5-6 females. Only one female gave birth, the rest died. I now have 3 males & 2 females to start the line again, & I'll use the same methods I used before. They are exceptional fish, for a guppy, & they don't have the erradic breeding some other guppies do, as hard to believe as that is
