Anyone have a chart for Guppy Genetics?
Do you know anything about guppy genetics? Like colors, or fin shapes? Dominate and recessive genes? Because i am breeding my guppies and it would be helpful. A chart would be most helpful.

for example:

COLOR:
Blue(dominant) CC
Black(dominant) Cc
yellow(recessive) cc

FIN SHAPE:
Round(dominant) CC
Flag(dominant) Cc
Scissor(recessive) cc

SPOT TYPE:
Half Black(dominant) CC
Moscow(dominant) Cc
Cobra(recessive) cc

Possible Outcomes:
Blue round tail half black male(CC) + with a yellow scissor-tail cobra(cc)= CC, Cc, Cc, cc

Thanks all!!!

no actually, there are many more people than you would think that show their guppies for awards, trophies and cash prizes. There are many guppy breeding and show clubs. You'd be suprised how much a good strain on guppy can sell for. I've seen them sell from 15$ all the way up to over 90$. Im new to it, so I'm just trying to find some sort of chart or system to the genetics so I know how to breed them successfully.
