Since 2017, I have been writing about breeding guppies. Finally, I have a stock of select older breeders from 4 different “families” that are producing progeny worth selling. Members of the families are from different matings. To avoid inbreeding, none of the pairings are between full siblings. These guppies have a lifespan 2-3 times better than when I started, and in my humble opinion, are gorgeous. Granted, it is easy to talk about how great your guppies are, but will they do okay in the hands of others?? After selling my guppies to a local aquarium store, the owner praised them with the following comment, “Your guppies don’t die.” Below is a video of one breeder family (4 females and 3 males).

I am thrilled to announce launch of the 4th edition (2023) of ‘Ecology of the Planted Aquarium’.
