GENERAL DESCRIPTION ABOUT GUPPIES

1. MOSCOWS

Moscow is a species of guppy originating from Russia and arriving in East Germany and widely spread from there. This highly popular Moscow is commonly known as a solid colour guppy with a colourful texture on its head. A black colour component is a common feature of this guppy species. The reproduction of Moscow is from its Moscow males and not from Moscow females. Moscow black is its highly motile pigment and this gives Moscow its popular chameleon quality, where it can vary from a light grey to a much darker black.

The main types of Moscow are Blue Moscow which is a variety having a black layer of colour cells below a blue-light reflecting iridophore layer. In these blue moscows we can see albino blue Moscow, blond blue Moscow, Asian blau blue Moscow, golden blue Moscow in the hobby. Green Moscow is a unique variety similar to Blue Moscow with an increased number of cells in yellow colour. Likewise we can see purple Moscow in the hobby. When we come to the full red Moscow it is difficult to distinguish with full red guppy. Half black red Moscow and Albino full red Moscow is another variety of full red Moscow. Like the above varieties, golden red Moscow is a popular variety of Moscow in the aquatic market. Midnight black Moscow is a darkish variety which is constantly black which does not fade to grey or other. Albino midnight black and golden midnight black is a different variety of midnight black Moscow.

Stoerzbach Moscow is a yellow version and yellow green version which is included in the stream. When they mature it becomes green metallic. Pink white Moscow is another variety in Moscow species which have a combined genes of the blue Moscow and pink white. In blue grass Moscow grass -like fins are present in this species body. That is because of the influence of grass Nike stripes in the body of this species. Moscow fire tail is another variety of moscow. This is a combination of midnight black moscow and the full red moscow. The full red colour of the body may be lost at some time.

 

2. METAL HEADS

The strain is a combination of snake skin and moscow gens. There is a similarity between the original form of moscow and metal head snake skin. The snake skin body and fin gens are separate, there is a possibility of other patterns associated with the fins. The colour of the body and fins depends on what strain of moscow and snakeskin pattern can vary in its penetrance. In these metal head guppies we can see cobra metal heads and lace metal heads.

In cobra metal heads, yellow cobra metal heads which is a combination of yellow colour and cobra snake skin pattern is a unique variety of cobra metal heads. Like this, Red cobra metal which has a head round tail is a combination of red snake skin blue Moscow and the round tail gens. Black cobra metal head has fabulous dark shades made of heavy black colour and black Moscow front with cobra snake skin body. Red metal head mosaic is a variation which consists of fan tail and mosaic tail gens with tail gens.

Lace metal heads are a variety combination in metal heads. This guppy species have red lace metal heads which have a body of red lace snake skin with blue Moscow phenotype. Similarly orange metal head fan tail which have a solid orange colour, yellow lace metal head fan tail which have a body of yellow lace with a front blue moscow, yellow metal head double sword also known as filigran which is a combination of moscow snake skin and double sword traits and yellow lace metal head spear tail.

 

3. SNAKE SKINS

In yellow cobra snake skin we can see yellow green or bluish green. In front of the body there is a black eye marking. Another variant Lace snakeskin upper sword is unique from others because of an upper sword present in the snake skin. That’s why it is called a lace skin upper sword. In these snake types, a combination of green and yellow snake skin is called Green lace snakeskin. Yellow mosaic snake skin which is a variety of snake skin having a lace body and mosaic fins. Another rare guppy in snake skins is purple snake skin with this rare colour. Blue half-moon snake skin is relatively rare and the presence of yellow pigments make the guppy look green. Red lace snakeskin is a large variety of snake skins having medium to large bodied snake skin. Not but least Red snake skin round tail is a unique variant having round tail with the red tail gene.

 

4. MAGENTAS

Magentas is a distinct variant from others and is not a strain but it is a mutation that makes these guppies special. These guppies are originated from a guppy in Romania which is crossed with thai strain. Hue of the magenta colour depends upon which type of red colour pigment. The main types of magentas are these.

Long fin Silverado and Short fin Silverado is a Moscow which consist of metallic gold gene. This strain is given from the full gold flamenco dancer imported from Singapore. Blue Silverado is a guppy having a similarity in phenotype to the flamenco dancer. Full gold magenta Moscow looks like full gold leucophore and because of the magenta gene the fins are short. Blond magenta Moscow is another distinct variety of magentas. Albino full red magenta is a special guppies which has an incorporation of magenta gene into a full red guppy strain. The hue of the guppy is overall magenta. Flamenco dancers which have a gene combination of magenta and Moscow, Peacock which is a combination of magenta and snake skin gene are also popular guppies among the magentas. The expression of these genes appeared in different degrees of the body. Lastly Magenta metal lace cobra is a type of snake skin variety that comes under magentas due to its special looks.

 

5. MEDUSAS AND GALAXIES

Medusas and galaxies are unique models among the guppy models. These have these special looks because of the crossovers.The strain is a combination of schimmelpfennig platinum gene and snake skin gene. The main types are Medusa, Blue galaxy and Santa maria.

When we consider Medusa, the caudal fins of the medusa have a mixed pattern. Phenotypes of the medusa are similar to galaxies. The classification of medusa are medusa round tail, platinum medusa.

Blue galaxy is special due to the grass gene spotted fins are present.  The main classifications are red galaxy fan tail (red version of galaxy and particular strain having fan tail), white galaxy (it is a combination of red and blue galaxy drops), European magenta galaxy (snake skin pattern due to presence of magenta gene to collapse into a metallic finish), yellow grass galaxy (in front of the body there is bandit blue patch. It usually is a marker for a galaxy), bluegrass galaxy (it is an interesting variation and also crosses with galaxy.)

Santa Maria is another variant similar in galaxies because, in front of the body there is a blue area of colour with galaxy type phenotype. The classification of Santa maria are albino red santa maria

 

6. GRASS
