Irridecently spotted guppies?

[lyquidphyre]

is that how you spell irridecent?

anyways, I have a handful of guppies that are irridecntly spotted, is that possible? Well, of course its possible because I have about 5 like that, but why is that? They remind me of leapard or cheeta spots. Is this a normal occurance?

Iridescent.....and yes....it is normal for guppies (especially males) to have iridescent markings. The so-called 'Cobra' guppies often have iridescent patterns. Wild-type guppies also have iridescent spots.

I read that as indecently spotted guppies. I have to stop checking the forum so early in the morning

(Hands Allivymar a cup of coffee.) I guess we're just lucky that liquidphyre didn't post this one as "Spotted Iridescent Guppies"!!!

LOL My version is just as bad Fruitbat *hands lyquid a pair of pants* LOL

Hahaha. Sounds rather like a headline, doesn't it: "Indecent guppies spotted: judge assigns 100 hours community service."

And while we're at it... "leopard and cheetah" (Don't mean to offend! Typos happen.)

It wasn't a typo, I am just a horrible speller =o)
