They are pure bred guppies. The owner probably didn't want to sell show guppies to non breeders. Thinking the a non breeder would just toss it in a tank with a regular female guppy and therefore, lose the Moscow guppy strain.
help with Show guppies...
Hi there, I set up an unplanted tank (water has been cycled for the last 3 months) for the gf so she can have her guppies on their own and not take up my fish stock space 
Anywho, went to the LFS and when she was picking out another guppies, she asked the shop owner about a moscow guppie, he told her they are not for beginners. So what im wondering is how different can they be from regular guppies.
I understand some guppies have issues when they are breed in brackish water and being thrown into a fresh water tank, but it baffles me why a store owner would discourage her from having them so much.
Anyone care to educate me about this?
