I did appreciate learning for your experiments! Thank you for sharing. I bought 20 Bluegrass (sire) and Dragon (female) guppies to experiment with. I have other experiments at home lol… Learning to manipulate the Purple and Asian Blau genes. BTW I got gorgeous purple half-moon half blacks. Not all half blacks are boring lol….
