There were Guppies! I went back the next day and got a few, maybe ten. I just started taking photos of them, and wow, such a variety! And the eyespot-- the Evil Eye! But they're just cute little fishies, really.Melissa Evangeline Keyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06414199867126164752noreply@blogger.comBlogger20125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416773626831214706.post-37893702422246090562009-08-19T09:35:00.000-04:002009-08-19T09:35:24.840-04:00bill...<br />

Maybe just group photos like these, let you squint and peer like I do. With dozens of big female Mama guppies blessing me with, what? A hundred babies every six weeks? I have lots of gups! I'm sending some of the large females with clear tails and no markings to a creek nearby. Maybe in about twenty years I'll have all colorful females!

<div><div><div><br />
I was away for a little while, and when I came back, well more than half my guppies were gone, and the few left were freaked and hiding.<br />
<br />
A little while later, a woman I know was in my yard, with about seven or eight kids, one had a plastic one gallon jug. She said one of the kids had 'found' the guppies, and they were all coming to take more. She had come along with the kids because she was suspicious about the whole thing about fish being up a dry hill. They'd come from a house nearby, up a little path through some untrimmed bushes. She was REAL surprised to see me. Finally they left, without more guppies.<br />
<br />
We'll see if the missing fishies return, the lady said she would tell the mother. And she said they'd bring back the fish. But they're probably dead by now.<br />
<br />
My guppies.<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div>Next morning, the next chapter-- I didn't get much sleep last night, I was too upset. I have most of my stuff at that house, but am not totally moved in there, and sleeping there. So I'm still in this rental place. I was wide awake at 4:30 am, said 'fooey' and got up and started up the coffee pot. </div><div></div><div><br />
At first light, I drove to the house, and went around back to the porch, and Hooray! there were my gups again. I looked closely, and my #1 favorite had made it through the move. I might spend sometime today moving them inside. There's no livingroom furniture, so looks like it'll be guppy ponds.<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
Extremely stressful two days, or day and a night. For the Mama gups too, I am now blessed with about--oh, at least 500 babies. Maybe a thousand.<br />
<br />
I'm planning on enlisting a lot of local help, people good with kids, they are rare!,,, and see if a guppy club of some sort can happen. The little boy, Steven, must have really wanted the fish. I guess he's eight or nine years old.<br />
<br />
It was really nice, yet sadly wistful to sit with my gups this afternoon, and see my eight or ten favorite individuals. But they hide when they've finished their food. The Mamas even hide when there's food newly sprinkled, I have to go put it in amongst the hyacinth plants.<br />
<br />
Ah, well, life happens. I slept hours this afternoon, recovering from the stress.<br />
<br />
So, it's not sad about the gups and kids, especially the boy. Maybe he can be 'President' of the club. No dues, just trade fish.<br />
<br />
And there's a young woman in the neighborhood that's really messed up, in a motorized wheelchair, who tried to raise 40k for a van to go to school at the University here, and major in business. Maybe she can open a TINY guppy store. Sell what is extra here to a wholesaler in Miami--- just random thoughts. Host an international guppy show and conference. They happen, guppies are a big deal, worldwide. </div><br />
I hope there's some lemonade here.<br />

Hahaha!<br />
<br />
So much for jumping in a subject knowing nothing about it. Like moving to the tropics and all of a sudden trying to snow ski with the best of them.<br />
<br />
Ah, well. There's a discussion about "What is a Fancy Guppy?", and someone said, a big tail. I'll stick with that!! I'm sticking with the eye spot. Tails: red, blue, yellow, caliope(multicolors). Eye spots: white eye, red eye, double eye.<br />
<br />
Some that I like--<br />

They must be terribly active in that pool, because the silt from the rescue operation is completely stirred up. I see an occaional shrimp swim by, but nothing else. The first critters I put in were just a few of the little shrimp, about one or two centimeters long, less than an inch, and the silt settled, and I could see the bottom of the pool. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Not now! the second addition was about a shovelfull of the silt, and maybe fifteen fish, and fifty shrimps. I had quite a time getting them out of that shallow ditch! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But then, oh well, I hope the fish that I rescued are doing well. No idea what they are, they sit on the bottom, not free swimmers. The mudhole is totally dried now. This is a natural thing here on St. Croix, the seasons are dry/wet. So I guess the last thing these fellows do is leave eggs for the next rainy season. Maybe they won't live very long where they are, in my pool.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'll get the water the same as the guppy water, I believe the pH is very different, needs testing, then I'll start sifting guppies.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OK, later!
