Guppy Cross: Half Black Red Rose × Silverado Red | F1 Results

Guppy Cross: Half Black Red Rose × Silverado Red | F1 Results This video shows what you get when you cross a Half Black Red Rose guppy with a Silverado Red male. The F1 resulted in silverado half black red tailed males. Looks like a silverado half black red rose guppy is a real possibility. While a back cross was the best next step I did not have red rose females available so an F2 group was set up. The next video will show the results. Genetics discussed in this video are based on published breeder references, including the Bias & Groenewegen Trait Matrix and Philip Shaddock's Guppy Color Bank, together with observations from my own breeding program. Individual strains may differ in their genetic makeup and expression. References and Further Reading • Bias, A.S. & Groenewegen, C.

Guppy Workshop documents long-term guppy breeding projects, strain development, and genetics through actual breeding results. After retiring from a career developing F1 hybrid flower varieties, I now apply the same systematic breeding approach to guppy strain development.
