Hallo,
I'm Rainer Schultz. I live in Germany and breeding Swordtails.

Please, look at my page www.platys.net

Sorry, I speak no English, but I have google-english ^^

Best regards,

Rainer Schultz

Das ist okay. Ich spreche sehr wenig deutsch (nicht züchte ich Schwertträger).

Rainer,

Your fish are very nice, thanks for sharing.
I developed a strain of Albino Variatus during the early 1990's at the time I was big into Fancy Xiphophorus breeding, but no one else seemed to care. I practically gave some of these away at the Cincinatti auction and didn't do too much better at the ALA auction.

Hallo,

hier die Überschrift eines Artikels über den Königslyra. Dankenswerter Weise war Christina Ghiasvand so freundlich meinen Artikel zu übersetzen:

here the title of an article on the King lyretail. Thankfully Ghiasvand Christina was kind enough to translate my article:

I achieved these results in the struggle for knowledge, not because I already know everything ^^

Danke für Eure Bemerkungen. Ich freue mich auf den Austausch.

Thanks for your comments. I look forward to the exchange.

That is a great looking fish. Thanks for showing the photo.

That is the form of Fancy Swordtail which the Hawaiians and some others have called "Hifin/ Lyretail with normal gonopodium".

Dr. Joanne Norton stated that in some strains of Hifin Swordtail, the top of the male's caudal fin sometimes has a short extension.

Does anyone else have any comments on this?

Hello,

I have now read your post.

My Hifin-Kingslyratail emerged from a Kingslyratail male and a female Hifin.
The evidence Kingslyratail fertilize females with normal fins. I am one of four breeders in Germany who did it.

A request:
Can someone scan this and send it by e Artickel "In Livebearer # 204 I made reference to the" so-called "


Kind regards, Rainer


Here is my German text to avoid misunderstandings:

Hier mein deutscher Text, um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden:


Hallo,

ich habe inzwischen Deinen Beitrag gelesen.

Mein Hifin-Kingslyratail entstanden aus Kingslyratail als Männchen und ein Hifin Weibchen.
Die Kingslyratail befruchten nachweislich Weibchen mit normalen Flossen. Ich bin einer von vier Züchtern in Deutschland, die das gemacht haben.

Eine Bitte:
Kann mir jemand diesen Artickel scannen und per eMail schicken "
In Livebearer #204 I made reference to the "so-called" male Lyretail Swordtails with normal gonopodiums."?

Herzliche Grüße, Rainer

Hallo,
Interestingly, the last pictures. According to the topic

Interessant die letztenBilder. Passend zum Thema

I have referred to Swordtail males like that as "so-called" Lyretails and I probably shouldn't have. I have never done any breeding with them and don't actually know if they possess the traditional Lyretail trait or not so I was wrong to call them that.
