When I was a kid in the 80's, my cousin and I caught these exact guppies in a local river in South Africa. They were very hardy and bred like crazy. We even ended up selling the babies to pet shops. Some had really beautiful tails with lots of metallic greens and blues.
YES guppy collecting, this is one of my favorite things that you do - it's like a little adventure everytime, and I am so jealous you live in a place you can do this! (I live in the desert.)
I have these cuties in my tank. They were being sold as feeder fish and I was like omg no just give them to me hahaha. They breed like it's an apocalypse.
I went looking for wild guppies in Florida, I was pretty sure I found some, I caught one, I put it in my community tank, smallest fish in there, it terrorized every living thing in the tank, I finally had enough and decided to feed it to my saltwater tank, I scooped it out and plunked it straight into my reef tank. . . . . it lived with no acclimation, still highly aggressive but kept in check by the reef inhabitants, so a word of warning, when you're trying to find guppies, be careful what you might end up with lol
@@shres1567 LOL, no this was a couple decades ago, a few months after that I had a job move out of state and he went to a friend with my tank and it's inhabitants.
for the kilifish specifically cause in jamaica if u look really hard you can find endlers thats about it ....mostly mosquito fish to be found everywhere and wild mollies
It looks like the guppies have gone through mini evolution,, their colors have adapted to match their surroundings for camouflage, so now they look brown and gray. Helps them avoid predators 🙂
thanks for this video, they are same as my country 's wild guppies ; but they are very hard to survive at home.....this video reminds me back to my childhood .......kids bought them to feed baby ducks( hundreds of them for only a dollar)............
Wild guppies here in the philippines are quite abundant. Though most of them do not have any distinguishable patterns or colors. Alnost all of them are dark gray in color. Must be because of the environment they live in. They can be found even on polluted waters. Some people often harvest them and sell them to pet shops as feeder fishes. They get sold without being quarantined so they might carry diseases thay may infect your carnivorous fish if you would feed them without quarantine periods. Anyway, great video man.
Great video! Really enjoy seeing these beautiful little fish in their natural habitats. Would love to keep wild guppies myself however they're difficult to get hold of here. I can at least get n-class Endlers!
Yeah those are mosquito fish which are extremely close to guppies. The only real difference is that they’re about .25 inches longer but they can breed with guppies and look pretty much the same. But yeah those cow like ones, black and white spotted are nice
Awesome video! You need your own TV show on Discovery Channel...it could be called "The Guppy Chaser" (inspired by "The Crocodile Hunter"...RIP Steve Irwin)...really no joke! I enjoyed watching this video!
That one right at the top at 8:03 is a stunner! I love the wild type guppies, it's really a shame that they seem hard to find these days. I always check the shrimp and feeder fish tanks at the local import store, since sometimes wild type guppies will sneak in with shipments of other creatures. It's about the only way I can find them around here.
I got in trouble because I owe Rack from River Life guppies first... Going back out tomorrow to collect more and I will be looking for waterfalls too!!!
As kids, we used to catch these wild guppies and also medakas in the sugar cane and taro patch irrigation ditches in Hawaii. I used gallon sized glass Best Foods Mayonnaise jars as fish bowls. Brings back many memories.
Where is this? I have caught wild guppies in several streams in Costa Rica and they look similar to these. Especially the ones with orange patches on the sides and the circular black spots. I put about 2 dozen in a small pond and within a year had thousands with lots of interesting variations showing up.
in Singapore there are also lots of wild guppies and also our rivers are mixedwith other types of non local fishes as well so many of them as they are being released into the rivers by hobbyist
These are native... but Im pretty sure these came from South America at one point. Im many ways lots of the the plants and animals were introduced to these islands. By man, by storms, and other ways at one point in history. How many year does it take to call something native ya know? This is a special place for sure. It is raining like crazy today which means it will be a great day to be in the fresh water guts tomorrow. I wish I could go live out there.

I have never seen wild guppies, especially in their native habitat! thank you for showing us this.
We use to catch wild edler guppies when I was around 8 years old, now am over 35 and still have nice dream of that pond. Love this hobby
How exciting. I have collected fresh water in Haiti and the BW Indies. Great fun.
here in the Philipines you can find wild guppies that looks like betta fishes😇
catch some and send to me, i'll pay good for them XD

is it still alive?

@@douglasdobson8110 lol that's amazing
That probably wasn’t a wild guppy. Eastern Gambusia are very aggressive, native to Florida, and look similar to guppies.
@@in7250 yes I later identified it as a gambusia lol. I'm glad I only caught one
It is great to see the color of the wild guppies.
I loved getting wild guppies and killifish when I lived in the Caribbean. So much fun thanks for sharing😊
for the kilifish specifically cause in jamaica if u look really hard you can find endlers thats about it ....mostly mosquito fish to be found everywhere and wild mollies
I didn't know the carribean has a river I haven't seen one
In my country Cuba I use to get lots of them in the rivers and streams when I was a kid.
@@itzyaboi5880In my country Cuba, there is a lot of rivers .

Nice fish!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! Love wild guppies, definitely on the fish room wish list!
I have an orange one like that with black dots with silver around them my black light makes it sort of glow!! They are so smart too!!
Those wild guppies look dope

Wild guppies? My childhood day was fun, way back 80's. LOL
Wild guppies as far as I know they might be P. Obscura

You can find some of that in the rice fields or irrigation canals here in the Philippines hahaha
Place looks beautiful

From straya, accidentily caught 10 guppies in my local pond. They go well together with my yabbies, not sure about when they get to 30cm/1ft though.

I love guppy fishes
I love guppy and i have a little guppy fish
That's so cool collecting local wild guppys. Dedicated Joseph strait to a live stream when u got back soaking wet lol. Have a great day mate.
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate you saying so!

What treatments do u use in your wild guppies?
I treat with erythromycin, metronidezole, pratziquantal, IchX. Then two treatments over four weeks of Levamisole.
I love this video
I wish i could find guppies nearby in my country 😆 am a fish keeper
eveyone says the guppies need high GH water. Did you test the river water,is really High GH wather? thank you~~~
I don't know the GH but the TDS was over 1000ppm.
Where is this? I have caught wild guppies in several streams in Costa Rica and they look similar to these. Especially the ones with orange patches on the sides and the circular black spots. I put about 2 dozen in a small pond and within a year had thousands with lots of interesting variations showing up.

Endlers😍
Cool !!!😋👍👍
Muito bom vídeo
THANK YOU!
Where did you collect the wild guppies? What state or country was it in?
The US Virgin Islands
Какое чудо сотворили люди с этими серыми скромными рыбками. Из грязи в князи)
Very cool video bro!!
Are guppies native to the Virgin Islands or are those introduced?
These are native... but Im pretty sure these came from South America at one point. Im many ways lots of the the plants and animals were introduced to these islands. By man, by storms, and other ways at one point in history. How many year does it take to call something native ya know? This is a special place for sure. It is raining like crazy today which means it will be a great day to be in the fresh water guts tomorrow. I wish I could go live out there.
JH Aquatics gotcha. Very cool! Wonder if they’d technically be considered a non-described species. Maybe they could end up being Hardini guppies. 👍🏼
well, It is bad form to name a fish after yourself... I would love to just be able to name a fish... back to Peru next year.
JH Aquatics You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
awwwwwww.... well shucks! :) I feel the same of you!
