Breeding Technique

Inbreeding: This is mainly maintaining clean strain. Fish are closely linked with each other and brother and sister, father and daughter often bred. The operator sometimes do, that this is a characteristic decide how the color or shape. First of all, you need better male and female race and gout. This may beautiful fish for many years, if and when the fish start with quality and are lucky enough to choose not only the most attractive fish, but to collect fish as breeders who do not have a weakness for them invisible - appear as genetic defects, often the result is called simply "too much blood". Be careful when choosing rocks, often a strong body is the most desirable element to maintain a strong inbred line.
Breeding Line / Line Crossing : This method is also a form of inbreeding, but here you start by maintaining two young women (both from his new trio, elected or fry drop) separately, so that form two lines. Since we can not confuse a large, it has more tanks. The best way to choose different breeds for each row, for example, on one line, may have a large body mass, and with others, can count on finnage. The aim is to help existing trunk, and each line is different, and more remote you can create your own two lines cross from time to time. If you want the size of their fish, for example, or make outcross, to avoid inbreeding, with someone else to do this line is risky and could miss the functions in your line that you have worked hard to achieve, as well as the quality of their losses homozygous Guppi .
OutCross Breeding: This is opposite of inbreeding - pairing fish, and not with others. This creates a so-called "hybrid" Guppy. "Hybrid" force may be reduced to such an outstanding fish size, color and health. Models of genetic parents encrypted / mixed, and fish can be good for the show, but not for breeding. Outcross with a fish that only a few generations before outcross can produce beautiful fish for several generations, but also the structure of genes, and ultimately lose in similar small fish, the original wild Guppy usually sold as pets in food stores. While this course, is how there are new strains, it takes a lot of time and knowledge of genetics to create a pure master. It is therefore not recommended for beginners to try the crossing in order to create tribe.
