The small brightly hued fresh water fish GUPPY - poecilia reticuleta- originating in Northern South America and the adjacent islands of West Indies was first supplied to the British Museum by R.J.L. Guppy, 19th century clergyman of Trinidad. The miniature ornamental fish, having come a long way and now gracing aquariums all over the world, are being reared by one of the Brothers in St. Mary's High School. My youngest grandson, Jatin now studying in my old alma mater and interested in aquaculture , recently brought home a couple of guppies for rearing. This led to Google search for the specie. The video is the result of the engrossing search . Interestingly, unlike the other fish, Guppy females give birth to its young. Thus the bounties of Nature, indeed amazing, are intriguing.
