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:


Trio Bicolor 1st Prize

Trio Open 1st Prize

"Green Lantern" Lace

Sometimes there are morphs with interesting phenotype from my experiment with existing strains and if they look beautiful to me, I will try my best to enhance and stabilize their traits.

Another interesting colour is the green based half-metal lace. Its luminous green is a stark contrast against any dark background. I dubbed it the "Green Lantern" Lace :)) This strain is now only in the F2 generation.

The current progeny is tinted with yellow and copper-like coloration. Some maybe purplish but they spot a green tint on the metal upper body. Hopefully one day, I can achieve a lace line with very solid green shine.

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

New Morph...

A new morph from my brownies got me quite excited. Grey eyes with its orange body reminds me of the "Fanta Orange" softdrinks... still quite some way to work on it.

Half Metal Magenta

The Half Metal Magenta is one of my experimental new strains that I have been trying for nearly 2 years. The pink colour is harvested from the small round tail Magenta strains to cross with my white Moscow females. 

It seems very difficult to get the tail long again after crossing with a short tail male strain. Next is to improve body size and dorsal shape...

Chocolate Updates

Got some time today to record the updates of my 3-month-old Chocolates...

Moscow Chocolates

and also an experimental strain of Chocolates x Moscow Blues.
