TCGG Member Standards & Code of Conduct

The Pursuit of Excellence

Membership in the TCGG is a commitment to the advancement of the fancy guppy. We expect our members to move beyond casual keeping, striving instead for mastery in husbandry, a deep understanding of aquaculture science, and the consistent refinement of show-quality strains.

​

Genetic Integrity & Stewardship

We serve as the guardians of rare and specialized guppy lineages. Members agree to uphold the TCGG standards of genetic integrity and professional conduct by:

​

• Maintaining accurate records: Keeping precise breeding and lineage data for all strains.

• Ethical Representation: Representing strains honestly and ethically within the collective.

• Biological Vigor: Prioritizing the health, welfare, and biological vigor of the fish above all else.​

​

Curated Knowledge Base

The TCGG Hub is a specialized repository designed for research and study. To maintain a focused and professional environment, the website is a read-and-download-only platform. While public commenting is disabled here to protect the integrity of our technical data, we encourage active discussion, reactions, and community engagement within our private Facebook Group, which serves as our primary social forum.

​

Human-Centric Integrity

Every article and briefing in our Digital Library is curated and authored by our dedicated human team. While we strive for absolute precision, we value the collective's input. If you identify a technical inaccuracy or mistake, please email the TCGG team directly. We welcome professional corrections that help us uphold our standard of excellence.

​

Privacy & The Private Hatchery

Many TCGG gatherings take place in local members' homes and private hatcheries. Access to these spaces is a privilege rooted in trust.

• Confidentiality: Members must respect the privacy of hosts. The unauthorized sharing of personal addresses or private facility details is strictly forbidden.

• Sanitary Protocols: Members must follow all bio-security or hatchery-specific rules set by a host to ensure the safety and biosecurity of their livestock.​

​

Professional Conduct

Whether at a physical event or interacting through official channels, kindness and maturity are required. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, harassment, or any form of discriminatory behavior. We are all in this together to create a welcoming and elite environment.

​

Resource Utilization

Members are encouraged to utilize our "Pro-Tools," manuals, and research for personal hatchery use. However, these resources remain the intellectual property of the TCGG. Self-promotion, spamming of resources, or unauthorized redistribution is not permitted.
