Almost 3 years ago, one of my female guppies gave birth to a male that could change color. His tail would be yellow most of the time, but would change quickly to another color. Sky blue, orange, pink, white, even different patterns, yellow with a black spot, and pink with a yellow border.
Sadly, he died along with all my other guppies that carried the trait. I did find some more, in the snapping turtle tank at the San Diego Zoo. Then, I found a thread that was started the fall of the year the guppy died on this site. What I'm asking is for people to start looking for these guppies, especially breeders, so a color changing strain is established. The trait is popping up in more guppies since mine was born, which is the first to be recorded (there are no records that can find before he was born). I've started calling them spectrum guppies, since they change color all the time. Please look for them.
