Guppy Pairs:
The male can achieve a maximum of ……………………….100 points.
Female Assessment.
The female can achieve an additional 10 points for individual criteria.
Therefore the female can achieve…………………………..… 10 points .
The entire score for the pair can achieve a maximum of … 110 points.
Female additional point evaluation .
Size
1 The body is the starting point and point of reference for the evaluation of the other criteria. 2 The body length is measured from the muzzle to the point where the caudal fin begins. And must be proportional to the body length of the male. The ideal length for the body 3/2 of the length of the male (male length plus 50%)
Form
The body shape must be robust but graceful. The base of the dorsal fin must be exactly in the middle of the body. The top of the body must form a straight line from the muzzle to the base of the dorsal fin. The pregnancy spot must be clearly visible. The peduncle is strong and sturdy, but not too broad.The dorsal fin rises steeply in the beginning and can be rounded off or pointed at the end. The fin rays are equally divided and straight. The dorsal fin should be similar to the dorsal fin of the male according to the standard, but may be smaller. Size and form of the caudal fin can differ from strain to strain and several different ideal shapes can be true matches for the male, and therefore can be difficult to evaluate. Important are the fin characteristics that are inherited by the males, like e.g. a cleaved fin or strong serrations or defects. Important is also that the caudal fin comprises the peduncle completely. The fin rays leave fan-shaped from the peduncle end and are equally divided.
Matching
Colour and form is valued together with size harmony. The ideal size ratio between a male and a female guppy is 2:3. No points are deducted for size if there are larger or oversize females The entry is disqualified if it is not evidently a true pair (e.g. different body colour or form). Also sick or disfigured individual fish result in the entry being disqualified. There are several examples where an entry of pairs is disqualified for not matching (eg different base colours, blue & red grass mix, female not showing 1/2 black etc). Should the tail or dorsal shape not match visually the set can not be disqualified, but may result in down pointing for matching.
Vitality
The guppy must be free swimming and active, and not sulking or hiding on the bottom.
