Guppy Genetics, Variation of Colors?

Question

If you breed two guppies do the offspring look exactly like their parents, or can they have different colors, fin shapes?

Answer 1

They can have a wide variety of colors and fin types, as said above, depending on the genetics of the two fish involved. Usually pet shop fish have a highly varied genetic history and will throw a wide variety of colors, but almost always the typical tail type. Even in line breed guppies, it's not uncommon to see a few from each batch that don't look like the parents, but it's far more uniform than in mass produced fish.

Answer 2

i prefer to propose occurring your community puppy shops and seeing what they have. an excellent sort of the guppies are a similar different than there seems so i prefer to propose going to the placement you will purchase the guppies and notice what types they have on the industry and notice what types you like the main.

Answer 3

depending on the history of the guppy, if the guppy inbred then possibly yes but if it is a mut (breeding with everyone of years of the family line)then no.
