This is a male moscow blue guppy. The commercial bred ones differ in intensity of the blue per individual male. One of the signs of commercial bred ones is that they show also a green hue when the light hits their body, just like yours.

Thank you and you've got a real nice specimen as an entry... 👍

In my opinion, you're the first one who has done this. It's the fish of the month and not fishes of the month. Same goes for tank of the month or pet of the month. It's about a single specimen and a single tank.

Since when do we allow to multiple fish photos instead of one before voting? That's new...! Try to stick to one, @anewbie...

It's not weird for egglayers to carry eggs around for a long, long time. But it could also be an internal problem. It doesn't look like it has dropsy if I look at the scales. But if it's an internal problem, it could be multiple things. Tumor, broken internal organ, worms, parasites, etc...

If you take a group of fish (no matter if they're schooling fish or not), it can depend on multiple factors whether dominance will occur or not. So, we can't state as a rule that we can't have multiple males in a group to avoid this. Yes, tank size is one of the factors. The amount of fish can...

Actually, feeder fish can be every type of fish. When it comes to feeder guppies, they're Poecilia reticulata and not specifically endlers or other types of wild guppies. And most of the time, they're wild type guppies instead of wild form guppies. But again, they can also be goldfish for...

As already been stated by my fellow members, they'll crossbreed for sure once kept together. You also have to know that both species are guppies. As I've written multiple times on this forum, guppies are divided into a small number of species: Poecilia reticulata Poecilia obscura Poecilia...

My congratultions to you, @f_luxus... 🥇

I wouldn't be surprised if they would breed this trait also in swordtails, platies or even mollies. The ornamental trade in Asia is full of it...

True! It can be done but shouldn't be. But the fact remains that there's sadly a market for such misshaped creatures. Same goes for the socalled lionhead. It's already a fact in guppies as well. It's sad! But especially in Asia, the demand for such fish is enormous.

In male panda guppies, each individual male has his own amount of black cover. So, it does differ per individual male. Happens overhere as well.

One of the gruesome guppy varieties: The bubble eye guppy... Not my favorite...! It's a pity that there's a market for these horror creatures...
