wicca27 · 02-07-2013, 08:37 PM

so i have been working on these for about 2 years now and have no clue what to call them. they are a combo of 3 diff strains. any one have any ideas on what they should be named im all ears lol... pic 2 and 3 are same fish just diff lighting

First thing I thought of when I saw them was a nebula. I'd call them "Nebula Tail" guppies

**msawdey** · 02-07-2013, 09:07 PM

i do like nebula..... or how about spectre strain? something along those lines

dudebro · 02-07-2013, 09:18 PM

Dalmatian tail
Pongo tail

elegysanft · 02-07-2013, 10:33 PM

I also thought of Dalmatian when I first saw them

I must agree with Nebula, i like that name, i think mabey like Dress (really simple idea)? it does look like they are almost wearing a dress if you look at the last picture

Blue Nebula guppies hehe? i always think of outerspace and with the tails showing rainbow colors i think i like it. now to make more nebula colors lol. ill keep this updated and once they are true breeding i will let you all know. im slowly getting more males that like these 2 guys so that is a good thing. i will try to get a pic of a couple females if you all want to see them too. thanks for the help all

I saw the spots and thought of dust, so moon dust or star dust maybe?

Fish Ed · 02-13-2013, 11:31 AM

+1 nebula
Oooo that gave me chills, Nebula Tail Guppy

HybridHerp · 02-13-2013, 01:03 PM

I saw a lot of blues and flowing....
Viel of Mist?
Rivers Flow?

mosspearl · 02-13-2013, 05:00 PM

I thought Appaloosa, but I really like Nebula.

lauraleellbp · 02-13-2013, 05:03 PM

+1 on Appaloosa

Betta132 · 02-13-2013, 06:33 PM

Nebula tail guppies. Or maybe galaxy tail... But I think nebula is a good name.

wicca27 · 02-13-2013, 06:55 PM

there are already "galaxy" strain guppies so i want to stay away from that cause dont want them confused but im really leaning in the direction of blue nebula. cause if i can keep the rainbow tail with spots but change body color i could have different nebula colors lol. and the line is really starting to breed well i have found 3 more males like the 2 in the pics so they are starting to finally breed true and it only took 2 years lol
