OUT OF PRINT | CREATE NEW GUPPY STRAINS: Learn the jealously guarded secrets of the breeders from the orient, use the famous AF Japan Guppy Farm book as your guide. This is not your average guppy book it is the only book published today that takes guppy breeding to a new level for advanced breeders. Instructions detailing how new guppies are created with many new pictures of guppies never seen before. Use this knowledge to create your own trademark guppy strains. No book published today can match the wealth of information for breeding guppies in detail as this book does see below the table of contents. If you wish to make a new guppy strain or understand how they made those new guppies, this is the book.
