Aplocheilus lineatus Probably a young male.

Thanks for the lead, I've googled the species and the colours are really quite varied I'm guessing that mine is what might be called a natural/wild colour morph.
I guess that he's about a year old now, I've had him coming up three months now, i'm presuming that getting 2 females even if this is a female is better company than nothing and less likely to cause trouble, I shall start hunting for company. I'm in West Wales near Aberystwyth if anyone knows of any please let me know, thanks in advance.

The fish sold as 'gold wonder' killie is a form of lineatus line bred for color. They may be available in your area if finding wild form fish fails.
