what kind of fish

[puckbag]

i have a fish that has a orange tail and black body that turns to yellow half way and i can't remember what its called. it almost looks like a mollie but wiht diff colors but i kno its not a mollie. the first letter in the name is V

 

[copeina]

variatus platy?

 

[puckbag]

thanx for trying to help but this is not what it is called

Can you provide a picture?

Is that the genus, species, or common name? Because there are no livebearers that I know of that have a common name that starts with a v.

You've got a molly, a swordtail, a guppy, or a platy.

varitus start with a V, and there are many diffrent color combinations.
