          Sadly, my camera's are not working. however I can tell you about it. It is totally what you are NOT supposed to do. lol
          I got 6 fish from him, labled 2M/4F but they turned into 4M/2F. I raised them in a 5 gal with no filteration but with an air stone. I seperated out the females and paired them up with 2 different males. One pair I left in the 5 gal and the 2nd I put into a 1gal unfiltered tank. I've added a corner filter to the 5 gal. The pair in the 5 gal dropped babies a couple times but I did not try to save them and they dissapeared. The other pair I pulled the female out and put her in a breeder trap in a 2 gal, unfiltered tank. After she droped I left the babies in there. I've done one water change on them. And I am totally amazed at how good they look. There are a lot of snails in that tank. And they are fed flake one or 2 times a day. There is also duck weed (very sparse) present. Oh there is no heater in the tank either. I don't know if any of this will help you, but that is how they are set up right now. I plan to move them in the next week or 2 to a bigger tank with filter.

            well albino are sometimes dificult,the key thing is to have a sister strain that you can cross them with.
            so when you are doing a crossback you got them back and with a better vigor.
            as a general rule when you go to the third generation you will lose sise , color , or fertility in this fish.

                have you tried worming your guppies.build them up a little . try some metro .make sure they are heathy before you breed them.it may make them stronger and build there longevity(?) and size.
