GUPPYPEDIA / SOURCE-REVIEWED BREEDER HISTORIES

Guppy breeder line histories

Six specific published breeder or laboratory records. Reported development, self-reported maintenance, a breeding plan and a controlled cross are different evidence grades.

Six guppy families · Documented experimental crosses · Breeder evidence directory

Breeder-reported development2012–2022

Bicolor Moscow-derived selections

Named researcher/breeder: Stephen Neil Kwartler

Observed or reported: The breeder says he acquired a Bicolor Moscow strain in 2012, developed Blue-Green Bicolor and Blue-Green Grass from that stock, and showed a resulting Multi that took runner-up in 2022. No individually identified parents or published offspring ledger accompanies this self-report.

Evidence limitations: This is not evidence that the breeder created the original worldwide Moscow or Grass families; a self-reported show result is not independently linked here to the exact fish.

Maintained line (self-report)Undated first-person description

Reported true-breeding Full Red and Half Black Red

Named researcher/breeder: Stephen Neil Kwartler

Observed or reported: The breeder describes maintaining a true-breeding Full Red line as well as Half Black Reds among his long-maintained strains.

Evidence limitations: This is not an audited offspring percentage or confirmation of an original creator, genotype, exact generation or current stock.

Historic stock recovery2021–2022

Blue Moscow breeding-program restart

Named researcher/breeder: Colorz Guppy Farm / Denny

Observed or reported: A 2022 first-person entry reports losing most of the breeder's crossed-out Blue Moscow stock in 2021, acquiring new Moscow fish to restart the program and importing pairs until home-bred stock could be offered.

Evidence limitations: This is not a verified ancestral pedigree, indication of founder creation, or proof that 2022 importers and current offerings share a fixed line.

Planned breeding program only2022

Half Black Tuxedo Koi program proposed in 2022

Named researcher/breeder: Colorz Guppy Farm / Denny

Observed or reported: The breeder's dated 2022 priority list named HB Tuxedo Koi along with Blue Moscow, HB Blue Tuxedo and Red Dragon as intended focus lines.

Evidence limitations: A planned program is not evidence of a completed Koi cross, measurable offspring quality, stable transmission or creation of the global Koi family.

Scientific controlled cross2007

Pink/Moscow inheritance in controlled crosses

Named researcher/breeder: Michael Kempkes (researcher)

Observed or reported: The peer-reviewed Pink/Moscow × Pauper, reciprocal and related crosses in Table 4 support Y-linked Moscow coloration and autosomal-recessive Pink body color in the studied domestic lines. Table 4 includes measured F1/F2 and backcross phenotypes, not a blanket inheritance law for every shop strain.

Evidence limitations: These experimental results are not a genotype report for Blue Moscow retailers, a pedigree from the researcher to any named seller, or an authenticated creator claim.

Firsthand observed mating2017, reported May 2023

Japan Blue × Blue Grass observed offspring

Named researcher/breeder: Diana Walstad

Observed or reported: The documented 2017 Japan Blue male × Blue Grass female yielded F1 males combining the sire's iridescent body color and the dam's Grass tail morphology; additional matings are described separately in the full documented-cross atlas.

Evidence limitations: The experimental observations are not verified original founder stock for Grass, all Japan Blue commercial lines, or guaranteed offspring percentages.

Attribution and pedigree limits

Parent lines not documented for generic commercial stock. Do not equate a documented breeding-program recovery with creation of a strain family. Do not promote a planned Koi program to a completed cross or transfer the Y-linked Moscow result from an experimental 2007 stock into any seller’s modern fish. Breeder names and sources are included for fact-checking, not endorsement. No third-party fish photos, private contact details or unverified genetic trees are reproduced.
