I'm curious as to what is a rare colour on a guppy, and if anyone has some tips on how to breed for a colour strain.

At the moment I have several fry about three months old, the males of which look to be turning out into yellow leopards. The females are mostly yellow, some with very light tinges of orange, but do not have clear spots on their tails - instead they have 'smudges' of black. Would crossing a dark blue guppy girl with one of my males have any chance of producing a light blue leopard fry?

It would have a chance, but I doubt it would work, I think you would end up with a bluey yellow male with black spots on its blue tail (wow that rhymes ) If you are trying to breed guppies for perfect colour, which I assume you are, you are best to buy yourself some 'perfect' guppies with all of the colours and body attributes you want. If you want to really perfect it, then buy them from different fish stores to avoid inter breeding siblings.

I'd buy myself some blue leopard guppies, but they're not exactly easy to come by...
