Aquarama 2015

I am elated with 5 winnings this Aquarama 2015, all with my self-bred fishes. One of the winners is the magenta mosaic - one that I worked on for a few years from scratch using the short tail magenta and lace lines. The delta tail shape and the mosaic pattern are proving quite challenging to maintain.

Unfortunately, my brown moscow was not timely to enter into the competition due to its small size . I still maintain these browns and hope to field them for future competitions.

The 5 winnings out of 8 entries I sent:

1st Prize: Group (10 Males) Tuxedo/Bicolour
1st Prize: Trio Open
1st Prize: Trio Bicolour
2nd Prize: Trio Solid Colour (Moscow)
2nd Prize: Lace/Snakeskin

Here are some videos:

Aquarama 2013 Guppy Competition

Aquarama 2013 Guppy Competition had been very competitive. I was lucky to win 4 out of my 6 entries, all of which are home bred by me. The Open class first prize Chocolate Moscow was my new strain creation that had also won in the Trio (2nd Prize) and Group (1st Prize) in Aquarama 2011. Nothing beats the thrill of seeing the fruits of my labour and winning with my self bred fishes.

I would like to thank various Guppy experts like Mr Yap Teo Tee, Mr Henri, Mr Chris Ng and Mr Lok for sharing and guiding me in the Guppy hobby.

1st Prize - Trio Open Class

2nd Prize - Trio Open Class

3rd Prize - Lace/Snakeskin

2nd Prize - Solid (Non-Moscow)

Guppy Challenge 2013

Having missed the National Guppy Competition last December as I was out of town, I was elated when I got to know the GCS Guppy Challenge 2013.  In fact, I was caught by surprised and most of my fishes are either too old or too young for this competition, nevertheless, I had managed to squeeze out 2 entries to support the show and was really lucky to have won in both :))

The pair of veteran red lace from a line that I have been trying to improve for a few years won the 2nd prize in the Lace Class. This pair are siblings and at 7 months old, frankly they are a bit old for the show. The male is approximately 6.5cm.

Half Metal Albino Full Red

In their show peak at 5 months old, the other pair of Half Metal Albino Full Red won the 1st prize in the AOC class. The next major show to look out for will be the Aquarama 2013 Guppy Competition. I will be competing if my entries are accepted.

Chocolate Moscow

My Chocolate Moscow was developed from the Moscow black. I used to experiment with Moscow black and the AFR (Albino Full Red) to improve the caudal shape of the Moscow blacks. Then one day, I found a chocolate coloured male in the experimental hybrid and used it to back-cross with the long dorsal Moscow females. The winning fishes are the 6th generation of selective breeding of the Moscow Chocolate Strain.

I am proud that this new breed of Chocolate Moscow had won in the Aquarama 2011 Open category Group Champion and Open category Trio 1st Runner up. This is really encouraging as it is my first Aquarama attempt in the Guppy Competition.
