Female guppies don’t give birth to live young


Ummm.... then what are these tiny live fish coming out of my female guppy?


They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

lol youll notice at the bottom of the article it has been edited to reflect that there were errors at the time of release. That is just hilarious though. Hey lets cover something without knowing anything the heck about it.

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

"Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that guppies lay eggs; they bear live young."

A typo at this point.

Interesting stuff. Think I'm gonna send this to a friend...

It's also not a wild guppy, which is what they used in the study But don't expect the non-aquarist to know these things. We pay journalists to report news, not to know anything about it (seems to be the more they know about it, the more biased the reporting is anyway)...
