One more question? This guppy is bigger like a female, but the coloring and tail seem more like a male, any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Barb :D
 
Pretty fish. I think it's a male. Check the anal fin. If it is rounded (fan shaped) it's a female. If it's pointed it's a male.
 
It's a male, you can easily tell regardless of body shape and size as the male livebearer has a modified tubular anal fin known as a "gonopodium" whereas a females anal fin is the normal sail shape :good:

how can you see that from all the way over there ? :)

dead right though, the male livebearer has a gonopodium (fishy willy, or magic wand as i call it :hyper: ) generally he flashes it about whenever he can often at 90degrees sideways to his body which is quite a trick... :p
