Brackish water world, let’s begin!

[The guppy guru]

I have been doing a project to create hardy saltwater guppies to then give out to my LFS to see if they can sell them. It starts by breeding guppies in low end brackish water, then raising the salinity by 0.001 specific gravity with every generation until they reach full marine then continue to breed them in full marine for a year. Finally I will select only short fin guppies for this process, so that they don't have any issues swimming.

my objective is to make a nano reef community fish. I don't see it any different than how we turned wolves into a chihuahua. It is selective breeding with a bit of environmental change.

its gonna take another year or so for the first batch to be ready but it is an effort I am willing to take

Announcement: From here on out all questions regarding brackish water fish and inverts, will be redirected to Want To know a little brackish secret I will no longer be posting on my other brackish water topic threads. Want to know a little brackish secret will be used as it is the most successful and the most widely know of the bunch, It has informed many people and I myself have made mistakes and learned from them there. That was also my first thread so its been with me on my may as a hobbyist. Thank you and remember, Happy Reefing.

I have a few generations of guppies and mollies that have been living in my sump for a years and a hald. They both do fine. The later generations don't end up eaten by atapsia as often. I think the later generations would do fine in the main display as they are a bit atavistic, except my harlequin tusk and eel would definitely eat them (my unicorn tang would probably eat them too).

I am presently acclimating a school of monos (sebae).
