Luke's Show Guppies

This strain was developed from the German Red Lace Snakeskins fom my original German imports in 2001. Their genotype is very stable and shape and size are very good.The only other sizeable and stable line that I know is in Taiwan from decendents of my stock. They are cross compatible with the gray version of the Red Lace Snakeskins. Currently they are show quality for IFGA AOC Albino Class. Please contact me by e-mail for current stocklist availability.

This strain is a new import to the USA and is genetically related to the Japanese Half Black White strains but has developed a full gold platina overlay and is a full albino. This is one of the few fully colored albino strains available in the world today! They look very stunning against a black background. The current stock is being developed to improve finnage size by crossing into related strains, and the full body colors may have changed. I am developing into a new strain Called California Gold RREA which will reflect the new Phenotype developments. These may not be currently available.

This strain is ablend of the newly imported super white triple recessive white albinos backcrossed to the blue albinos to create the new variety. The neon brilliant hue of the pastel blue finnage is relatively new to the guppy world and will soon be a hit everywhere! Colors vary slightly from golden white to bluish white and look very stunning against a black background. Very fertile ! Please contact me by e-mail for current stocklist availability.

They have pastel blue solid caudal with no pattern, and matching dorsal. They look very stunning against a black background. Body growh on this strain is very good for an albino. They carry thicker than average peduncles. There is a similar looking phenotype in SE Asia known as the Neon Blue RREA but the genetics are not the same! Some males can carry the Japan Blue body color. My line has been known to live beyond 2 years! Please contact me by e-mail for current stocklist availability. Very hardy for an albino!

This strain I have had for about 2 years now and is doing very well in my fishroom. It is triple recessive albino, blue(nonred/yellow) and gold : Genetic White(aabbrr). This happens to be an extremely rare strain and is the white albino strain that is discussed in Shroeders "Genetics for Aquarists "Book. The skin is pure white with no color and has very pale blue finnage with very good shape. This strain is not for recomended for beginners but is recommended for all Breeders with "Guppy Designer" Potential. I dont consider this strain as a show strain because of its very delicate and almost ghostly color and overall appearance, but it is used to create other show strains as well as support the RRE Blue and RRE Gold strains.

These stunning snakeskins were aquired by me on my recent trip to Germany and the Czech Republic in 2001 . They are the work of my friend Herman Magoshitz and Detlef Samnet, both of whowm are some of Germanys top breeders. They are the product of the red moscow lace from Detlef Samnet's strain and a normal lace snakeskin; an outcross that has been stabilized to produce the current phenotype. They are very prolific.

This rare strain comes from Japan and is a result of Japanese breeders remarkable selective breeding talents. The full gold color also ranks well in the newly formed full body color select group of guppies currently under development.

The intense golden body color is a result of the ever increasing platina irridescence in the body. The strain originated from the German Half Black Yellow strain that had very dark peduncles. Gradually a small amount of saddle back irridescent color was enhanced by selective breeding. The gold color lies in the upper layers of the skin and gradually with each selective breeding event overlaid the old tuxedo coloring.

Currently you would be hard pressed to find any black in the platina color line of this strain. This strain is still undergoing development as well to improve the finnage size and color and has a complimentary second line that still carries some of the original black tuxedo coloring but still carries the desirable significant gold coloring in addition to supplying the characteristics for good delta finnage. Body color seems to be enhanced with some daily sunlight energy which fuels skin generated vitamins and other processes that aid in body coloration. The current stock is being developed to improve finnage size by crossing into related strains, and the full body colors may have changed. I am developing into a new strain Called California Gold which will reflect the new Phenotype developments. Please contact me by e-mail for current stocklist availability.!

This new strain was a recent development in Japan a couple years ago and won several best of shows there. They have since been shipped to Taiwan and other countries, and have created quite a stir among some guppy breeders. I think this strain will be a staple lineage here in the USA shows in the near future as they do meet the IFGA show standards for AOC Pastel class. Color ranges from a brilliant pinkish to bluish to pure white in the different lines and is controlled by female selection! The Pink white line in this strain gets to a good body size while the platinum lines have white full body color! Extremely fertile and hardy. The platinum white versions have been selectively developed into the snow white and full white Albino versions as well! Please contact me by e-mail for current stocklist availability.!

This strain comes from the original Japanese Platinum Redtail strain but was made blue by the introduction of the Blau gene. This gave the Platinum an exiting new color variety and is relatively new introduction from Japan. Breeding and maintaining involves a relatively a simple understanding of the "Blau genetics" that maintains most common Japanese blue varieties. These beauties were a bit frightened in the photo tank and closed up from their normal delta tail shape. This strain was obtained from the World Guppy Contest Auction in Prague and is a product of the Japan Guppy Club. Czecholslovakia in 2001 from Japanese show stock. Very hardy and fertile.
