FRESHWATER / LIVEBEARERS / INDEX
Guppypedia
An evidence-labelled atlas of guppy care, breeding, tail standards, commercial forms and genetics.
Explore by topic, not just appearance.
Recognized show traits and dealer descriptions are not independent proof of pedigree or genotype.
Line History Evidence
Documented source cases for selected guppy lines.
Verify Breeder Pedigrees
Scientific checks for parentage, stored sperm, inbreeding and maternal ancestry.
Care and Water
Stable mineral-rich freshwater, cycling, population planning, quarantine and welfare.
Strains and Traits
176 searchable names and standardized traits; labels are not 176 verified bloodlines.
Six Strain Families
Moscow, Grass, Snakeskin, Japan Blue, Full Red and Koi: research and documented breeder connections.
Documented Breeding Crosses
Seven firsthand or controlled experimental cross histories, each with source-bounded evidence.
Breeder Line Records
Documented crosses, planned outcrosses and farm provenance—not universal pedigrees.
Breeders and Show Records
Source-audited historic IFGA awards, IKGH competitors and breeder/farm evidence.
Guppy Clubs and Associations
44 IKGH clubs across 23 countries; organization membership is not proof of individual breeder identity.
Genetics and Lineage
Body-color bases, pattern inheritance, standards and evidence limitations.
Breeding and Fry
Sex separation, sperm storage, parental records and selection without unsupported crosses.
Nutrition and Live Foods
Stage-appropriate particles, Artemia, Daphnia, formulated feed and water quality.
Diseases and Prevention
Parasites, bacteria, clinical uncertainty and preventative husbandry.
Endler's Livebearers
Poecilia wingei, documented collection lines and guppy hybrids kept distinct.
