	Tropical Fish: Breeding Guppy Fish
		Here's a word of caution about local fish store guppies: It is virtually impossible to guarantee that you will get a pure strain of guppy (ones in which the babies will all look like the parents).
		The fish in your local fish store have all been commingled, and to a guppy it matters not what strain or color they are - any male will mate with any female.
		After a few generations of random mating, guppies will begin very quickly to revert to the wild-looking fish, and lose much of their beautiful but artificially bred tail size and color.

		Rummy-nosed Tetra, third fish, These appear to be in the early stages of the disease although two have already died, the two remaining ones both have symptoms.
		If you see a fish like this when other fish in the tank are free of symptoms then it could be an indication that Guppy Disease is the cause rather than white spot.
		There are still some fish which appear to be borderline cases as to whether they will recover or not but I am going to wait and see, if they show some decline from their present stage they will be removed.

	Guppy
		So popular is the little Guppy that many hobbyists have given up all their other fishes to devote their activities and tank space to these beauties.
		Many countries in the tropics have taken advantage of the prolific nature and wide adaptability of the wild fish and have introduced them in mosquito-infested areas, where they could be counted upon to do an excellent job of eating the mosquito larvae almost as quickly as they hatched.
		Guppies being the fantastically variable creatures that they are, exhibiting differences in colour and finnage patterns that never cease to amaze non hobbyists and please hobbyists (especially dyed-in-the-wool guppy specialists), it would be impossible to present photographs of all of the different types as they rise and fall in popularity.

		The reasons why guppies are so variable in color and pattern is a continuing scientific mystery, although researchers have discovered that female guppies prefer males with rare color patterns.
		Guppies in their natural habitat tend to live in small pools and rivers where they are isolated by rapids and waterfalls.

		I can't believe it, the only guppy that I thought as the healthier of the two died, and the entire tail was gone, it disentigrated.
		Since you have lost the majority of your fish, I still feel the goldfish left something behind that was deadly to the tropicals, and I would not want to risk killing any more with this thought in the back of my mind.
