Colours of guppies?

Hi does anyone know where I can get a chart or something with all the different colours of (male) fantail guppies you can get??

My other dwarf gourami died and I had asked my local pet shop to get some in for me rather than going to pets at home again.. But when I got to the shop today, he had some new guppies in so I bought 2 of them instead!

I got a dark blue and a silvery blue one, they are beautiful

I already have an orange, a yellow, a red (with black flecks on the edge of tail) and one that is orange with black spots.
What other colours can you get? I think I might get just a couple more.

Guppies are gorgeous and so friendly We have a few in my mums tank but only the orange and black variety...I didn't realise you could get more colours.

Those are the good quality specimens in the fishkeeping hobby, they can be darn expensive however...

Re: Colours of guppies?

I buy guppies from my local pet shop at £2.50 each. Would you say that is cheap or expensive?
I remember a few years ago I used to get them at 75p! But maybe they had a cheaper supplier?

£2.50 is around the average, however certain qualities amongst show-class specimens can effectively multiply the price to over ten times as much.

I think I am going to ask him in the pet shop if there is specific colours he can get for me. I really want some pink ones!
