INDEPENDENCE, OHIO 
TROPICAL FISHES FOR AQUARIUMS, continued 
GUPPYI, Lyre-tail. I magine the colors of the | 
common Guppyi with a long lyre-tail and 
you will have a fair idea of what this fish 
looks like. It does not seem possible that so 
much color and beauty can be found in such 
a small fish. 50 cts. per pair. Selects, $1 
per pair. 
Golden. In the male the rear portion of the 
body is dark yellow, while the fore part of 
the body and the tip of the tail are bright yel¬ 
low with two cinnabar dots. In front of the 
two spots on the tail there are two dots, 
one dark and one red. On the caudal fin 
there is a dark spot surrounded by white. 
The female is orange-yellow. The Golden 
Guppyi is a very handsome fish. 50 cts. per 
pair. Selects, $1 per pair.
