Went into LFS a couple of weeks ago to get some Cardinals and got side tracked by a tank of bright blue fish which looked rather like mini- guppies. The notice said they only grow to 4cm. On a whim, I thought i would get a few to brighten up the tank, but the assistant said they were not shoaling fish so I decided to stick with my Cardinals plan and just get a couple( both males).
Now, I do have a really bad memory and I am kicking myself for forgetting the name. I am almost certain that that it begins with a G and had got something like Guyure in my mind but have found that must have been wrong. I also thought that they were labelled as G
guppies but ,again, may have imagined that!
The problem is that I now have a major bullying situation , one against the other, which I fear is going to end badly.
Looking for info, I have been frustrated by an inability to identify these fish. I though they may be endlers or hybrid endlers but I don't think they are. One side is half light blue, half silver and the other side all light blue. There are 2 black spots on the side. It has a blue and stripey caudal fin with ( main feature) a swordlike extension to the lower part not as significant as an actual swordtail.
Any ideas?
