International Names for Common Mutations
Common guppy mutations are known by different names in different parts of the world. Here is the table of equivalencies. I have purposely identified countries rather than continents (e.g. Europe or Asia) because there is liable to be regional variations in names. I list the word used in the Wiki, on the Guppy Designer site and in Guppy Designer books.
If you have suggestions or comments, please use the form below, or open a discussion thread on the Guppy Designer forum "Guppy Genetics Wiki."
