The guppy ribbon is caused by genetic genes, and the ribbon is a dominant gene. Only the guppy carrying the ribbon gene can its offspring become ribbon guppy. Under normal circumstances, both of them are common guppies, and they cannot breed ribbon guppies.
Ribbon guppies are the representatives of high-end guppies. The obvious difference between them and ordinary guppies is that their anal fins and pelvic fins are longer, which looks like ribbons floating in water. Moreover, with ribbons, they will appear more elegant and flexible when swimming, and their ornamental value will increase.
2. How to reproduce ribbon guppies1. Choose parent fish: If you want to reproduce ribbon guppies, you should choose parent fish with ribbon genes. However, due to the poor reproduction ability of ribbon guppies, and because their ribbons are long, their anal fins can not be well transformed into genitals, so reproduction will be more difficult. If breeders want them to breed, it is best to choose a ribbon guppy female fish to mate with common guppy male fish. In this way, the probability of ribbons appearing in offspring is 1: 1.
2, Ready to reproduce: Guppies are oviparous, and their reproduction mode is in vivo fertilization and in vivo development. The breeder can put the male fish and the female fish together first, and then breed them separately after they mate successfully.
3. Production: Guppies will produce small fish in about 28-32 days, and the number of ribbon guppies will be relatively small, and the constitution of small fish will be weaker, so breeders need to raise them carefully.
