During the last two years, we have done our best to distill as much information as we could about biology, breeding and the hobby around this great species at an international level.

We tried as many things as we could, and with the help and participation of many wonderful people, we put together a great collection of articles and such; albeit it is still somewhat unfinished work. But all of our interviews, country reports, and personal reports are truly unique and very special.

Our sincere thanks go to: Tomoko Young, Håkan Turesson, Bruce Hsueh, Rosario Arijón, Chris Ng, Luke Roebuck, Robert Gall, Joe Grimes, Ramona Osche, Claus Osche, and all others.

We have gone as far as we can in this format. Now it is time to switch gear. Also we realized that it is time to resume into a not so public approach. Tired of living on the road. It is time to set shop in “our garage”, like a “garage band”, experiment new sounds and, may be, record again in the future if and when we feel comfortable to do so.

Any way the dream is not over. Our ultimate goal is to reach nirvana in terms of understanding how to implement “best breeding practices” in guppy breeding. Next stop for us is trying to conduct a series of crossing experiments followed by dissection of guppy skin samples to try to understand the effects of color genes and gene complexes, mutations, whatever they should be called, at a tissue level. This is the reason because you see two articles on chromatophores in this issue. We realize this is quasi-science, but we are not funded by anyone, so what do we care… lol

We are all going to go our own way and try to keep in touch. We will keep this site live as long as we can but for now we need a break off to experience new drugs, sorry, gups.

We are really proud of what we did.

Thanks for listening us!!!
