Endler Or Swordtail Guppy?

[fifefish]

i found this in with a batch of guppy fry wondering what it is...

what type is this?

 

[Nim]

Does not look like an endler but could be a cross looking at the chest colouration and the caudal fin shape.. but I could be wrong. have not kept guppies for over 3 yrs now

It kinda looks like a crossbreed to me. It's beatiful though!

It looks like an immature guppy male to me. They sell guppies with twin swords like that in the LFS but they don't sell them quite that young. I don't recall what they call that caudal fin shape.

 

[HCpetraitis]

Twin tail?

 

[OldMan47]

I want to say they have been calling them lyretails but the tail shape is nothing like a lyretail on a molly.

 

[HCpetraitis]

Yes! I think that's the name! It has "tail" in it. Ummm.....

 

[fifefish]

it sorta reminds me of a threadfin rainbow..

 

[fish48]

Lfs often call them lyretails , the most Popular name is double sword guppy.

 

[helterskelter]

Yes that a very young male.
As for the tail type you can say for sure as it may of been nipped causing the shape.

As for tail type it could be either lyretail or doubble sword if it is.

Doubble sword's aim to have two strait swords, lyretail's swords bend.

And just to recap it's 0% endler

u have a very nice fish thier i would keep it away from all fin nippers and alike that will be a breeding beauty try and find a nice female to breed it with

 

[HCpetraitis]

Yea he's gonna be a great fish for breeding the blue is great!

 

[fifefish]

ive got a nice blue delta that i could breed it with but ..
im still waiting on my next batch of guppies from my pregnant female since she has stored up spearm from many males.

 

[HCpetraitis]

Oh yea thats a good idea. But he'll be a great color combo to breed someone with.
