What type are these?

I sent this photo to a friend to try and identify the type of Guppy. He suggested that they may be "Dragon Tail". I asked him for advice, as I wish to breed the 3 I have and don't want to end up with something odd, sich as appears to have occurred with my so-called "Honey Gourmi" .

I dunno if they’re dragon tail, they do have some signs of the pattern although the dragon tails are supposed to look like a spanish dancer dress (alternating stripes). One of them (the black yellow) looks like they have the snakeskin/cobra patterning
If you do want to breed them make sure you have at least 2 females (preferably more) per male. You would likely end up with a mix of fry and colours, bit you can control it to some extent depending on male and female colours ( the fry pick up parents colour and patterns).
But be warned like many of the livebearers they are prolific breeders, one male insemination can result in 8 separate batches of fry (each one about a month after the other). So you can end up with a lot of fry in one go hope that helps

I started off with dragontails, yellows, yellow cobra/snakeskin and blues.
The dragontails 21 years ago only had red tails.
They are all the same species, poecilia reticulata, just bred for specific colouration and patterns for showing; unlike the honeys that are often cross-bred with other species like dwarf, banded and thick-lipped.

To paraphrase Forrest Gump: "Life is like a tank of guppies. You never know what you're gonna get."

Only thing I would say is be prepared for a lot... and I mean a lot of fry! If you're planning on breeding 3 males, that means minimum 6 females, breeding pretty much non stop, the gestation period is roughly a month and once the drop they don't hang about and if you're not careful the fry could end up breeding as well.

Now @Ric you've got to say it like he did, then post the recording on here.

I did - in a paraphrased kind of way...unfortunately all recording devices are on their Easter breaks (or should that be 'breakages') heyho

no intention of breeding with 3 male Guppies. I intend to get 3 females for one of the boys, and have a seperate tank for that.
