Those morning as I was about to leave for work I noticed a flash of sliver out of the corner of my eye in 6.6 gallon tank. As I walked over to the tank I noticed 8-10 rather large Poecilia Reticulata "Orange Line" Rio Moricha fry. I promptly removed the female because they are notorious fry eaters. I am pretty stoked as this is my first batch of fry after acquiring these fish this spring.
In case you have never heard of this here's some back ground information. Poecilia Reticulata "Orange Line" is a fairly new and rare fish that only a handful of people in the entire United States keep. These are some of the hardest to find live-bearers out there right now, f you are lucky enough to find them they can go for $80 + a pair. To make matters worse the original breeder of this strain has sold off all his stock and went back to Europe.
This strain was collected in Rio Morichal,El Salto at the Highway 10,bridge,75KM SSE Maturin.(9.45 N, 63.10 W) Venezuela.
Right now these fish are classified as a wild guppy but some people think they might be a new species of micropoecilia.
Here is a picture of the originators of the strain, I haven't taken any pictures of my own yet.
