wild and fancy guppies?
I have wild female guppies, and I want to cross them with fancy ones, but which is more prominant, the fancy or the plain? I'd love some suggestions or comments on the idea or mixing fancy and wild guppies, and what to expect the fry to be like! Thanks!

If you cross wild-type guppies with fancies, the offspring will be partly fancy, partly wild-type...fancies were simply created by selectively breeding wild-types with colour to similar wild-types, and selectively breeding highly coloured/patterned offspring to other similar offspring.
