Guppies are small, tropical freshwater fish that display wide variation in coloration. some have bright splotches of blue, red, and orange, while others are quite drab and dull. research has shown that females prefer to mate with brightly colored males; however, this trait makes them more likely to be seen. guppies, like all species, must be able to both survive and reproduce in order to avoid extinction what is one factor that can affect what color trait is selected for a particular environment?
