I took them home from work after noticing someone had brought them in, now theyve gotten bigger id like to know what they are lol

Being as I havent seen a fry from another fish except for pleco's and african cichlids in a while, please forgive me if I'm wrong. I belive it is a Platy fry.

 

[mixmaster jay]

platy was my first thought by the body structure but they also look abit like barbs by the markings but im not sure sorry

Exactly wat mix master said, i think they look like platy fry, although i myself havent seen those markings on platy before. Maybe a barb or those markings are similar to sum tetra i think

 

[bae1994]

i think they look like endler guppy crosses

 

[MewMew42]

i thought that they may have been a type of livebearer but like you guys said its the stripes that threw me!

 

[kribensis12]

I've seen tiger platy's, which are a light orange with black stripes on them( given they arent common). So, it's possible/

re some tiger platy's http/www.rarelivebearers.com/Platy.htm#Red_Stripe_Tiger ita possibility they are different colour but like i said the it might colour with age

 

[afishdude]

They defiantly have the shape of a Xiphophorus of some type.

 

[mixmaster jay]

they are probably just some kind of hybrid

 

[afishdude]
