General principles of judgment

The essential feature of the breeding standard involves the detailed examination of all the features because the breeding standard is primarily based on a continuous selection down to the smallest detail. The judgment does not deal with an estimate on the general appearance (as this may distort the results arising from scrutiny). The goal is to reach the standards in all their forms peculiarities. The optimum ratio is sufficiently guaranteed by the establishment of the forms of proportional body and fins and dimensions of each other.

In a French or European competition, trim (overall male trio or pair of guppies) are rated differently, a packing consists of number of fish specified in the organization's regulations having them the same characteristics. The female is assessed individually, the male or male trio may reach a maximum of 100 points, the female can get 50 extra points for its individual criteria. The overall score of a male trio just reach a maximum of 100 points, while a couple can reach a maximum of 150 points.

The judgment is based on the respective descriptions of the standard form, in case of doubt, it should refer to the chart in this booklet IHS Only complete sets will be a judgment; If a full finish trim a fish dies or jumps of the aquarium, the decision of judgment back to the organizer. Differences between subjects will lose points, serious discrepancies may result in disqualification (background color difference, surface color difference, different standards) decided by the panel of five judges and the head of the contest.
