I posted this ages ago when I placed an endler in my tank not knowing it was different than my guppies.

In this post you will see the resulting offspring

Now I have this funny looking male in the tank......any idea what he is called colour or pattern wise?

These are some of the other kind I am getting

So the first one is an oddball? lol

He has no colouring on him other than the bit on his tail , the rest of the body is silverish and the tail is iridescent.

It's not a pseudoxiphophorus jonesi this is a wild fish and they are not found in the hobby unless you know a breeder, which i think dunchp may the only person on this forum who has them and one of the only people in th UK.

pseudoxiphophorus jonesi also look nothing like guppies, your fish is a guppy, and look's lige a tiger cross or simular.
