The Naming Of Guppies

[Baccus]

I know that most of the guppy names like delta, fantail and the like are usually based around the shape and size of the males tails and fins, but I was wondering if the females fin size and shape has any particular naming attched to them? In our breeding colony of guppies we have pretty much succeded in developing the dark almost siamese fighter blue in both our male and female guppies. To further finesse the breeding we plan to now only use well coloured blue girls that also have long flowing dorsal fins, this should in theory (for a while at least) make the removal of undesired traits easier, at least until we have a tank full of desired females and are finding it hard to pick the best to continue to use in the breeding colony. If anybody knows if the females do have an attached name relating to their fin and tail shapes I would really like to know.

Thanks

All I can say is that I do have a Blue Delta Female. So yes, they do.
