Got a trio of these,only about 2 1/2 months old so the male is still kind of scrawny.
Hopefully the offspring will turn out as nice as the ones in the breeder's video.

Albino Japan Blue Galaxy Double Swordtails.

Those are really nice Greg. I'm sure that you will fatten them up. I have some that are similar but without the the double swords. Mine are called Albino Snakeskin Mosaics Guppies. I will post some pictures of them and my Albino Full Red Guppies maybe tomorrow.

I'm curious...Is there a market for these?  They are beautiful.

At our auction a couple of weeks ago Guppies sold out. I've seen these runny at $35.00 a trio on BAND.

Swordtail guppies are a lot less common than those with larger tails like deltas so i'm guessing less popular,i think they are a bigger deal in Europe.

I had some albino double swords about 9 year ago which i was forced to sell during a move and had no trouble selling them on  Aquabid.

Only picture i have left of them,young males tail still developing.

Nice looking guppies Greg!  Guppies were my first fish, I was about 13 or 14, had them in a 5 gal tank on my dresser.  And a parakeet in the room too.

Guppies were    my first  tropical fish too,wild type or similar.
I remember seeing my first fancy guppies and was amazed by them,active pets in Chicago had 3 tanks of them,pretty sure  they were red,blue and green veil tails or fan tails.

Nice Willie,albinos and snakeskins are my favorites.
I had some albino metalheads that were amazing,disastrously infertile,fry numbers so low they weren't worth messing with.

Another infertile disaster strain,i'm likely through with guppies now too.
I can't do it anymore,waste of money,time and effort.
