I am looking for some micropoecilia picta (swamp guppy). I had some once that someone here sent me (or at least I believe it was in this forum). That was some time ago, about 8 years. Does anyone have or know where I can get some. I have looked at aquabid.com but they only have these orange ones and I want the original wild type. Besides they are $50 for a pair.

Wow! Why are these so expensive? I have never heard of a Swamp Guppy before...Do they actually come from a swamp or are they merely colored like one?

If that is what you're looking for, I have never seen any wild down here (and trust me, I live in the bayou) I have only seen what we call Minnow-Guppies. (They are shaped similarly to female guppies with wider dorsal fins and are greenish with stripes and/or spots on them).

I wish you the best of luck trying to find these :)
