Hey there and hiya,
I'm so glad to have stumbled on this site, just when I was about to start raving about guppies, fry and how I go about saving them all ( drooling was soon to follow, along with giggling hysterically and acquiring a talent in the art of basket weaving ) so good for me, bad news for the fiance, who was more than happy to say, "Well babe, maybe you should just reconsider this hobby thing". :crazy:
ANYWAY, I bred and raised guppies when I was....hmmm....MUCH younger than I am now, though nowhere near the quality of gupps I've seen and been lucky enough to purchase a few months ago, when to my delight, my 7 year old Dennis the Menace of a son expressed an interest in breeding guppies. So consider me and my personal tormentor of a son ( specializing in white hair and remarks such as, "Watch THIS!" ) a guppy hobbyist beginner.
I STILL maintain that I got back into this for him, not ME. No, REALLY. ;-) I'm trying to be practical and curb the impulse to buy everything I think I MAY need, but rather go about this calmly ( a trait unknown to me and totally foreign ) and therefore remain solvent in the financial area.
So...classic case of "Oh boy! I got great gupps! Yay! Uh....how do I keep them that way and manage to save a few fry?" sigh
With that said....I am here to learn. I've gotten several gorgeous Black Moscow guppies and wanna continue that line. Wish me luck, I imagine it's gonna be fun and patience inspiring!
Great to be here, will try not to pester and/or otherwise annoy everyone. Hey, I did say TRY!
