Fish identification

[lopez79]

Hi , fairly new to keeping tropical fish, had a tank now for a year or so. The other half came home with some endlers the other day for our tank. But I think a neighbour may have jumped across and we have a different fish. It gets harassed by the endlers and I want to get some more of the same variety. Does anyone know what sex it is and what variety. In the pictures it’s the white and blue looking fish. Thanks.

Not sure, but I like your photos. Were they taken with a cell phone? I use this iPad & can‘t get decent pics.

@emeraldking is the one you want to identify livebearers. The size would suggest a male guppy or guppy cross endler

Yep, emeraldking is the Guppy King! Love those guys he has with the bright orange heads & tails.

The white bodied blue tail looks like a female fancy guppy to me. I have a few in my tank & will take some photos later when I get home for comparison. If you want to keep her may I suggest getting two more females and one male.

The anal fin would suggest it is a male

Thanks everyone for the info. Much appreciated. I’ll go shopping for more at the weekend .

It's a Japan blue guppy male.
The commercial trade labeled all Japan blues as being endlers while they're actually guppies. But I do have to admit that there are also japan blue hybrids these days. First Japan blue hybrids (endler x guppy) were made by Adrian Hernandez. But most Japan blues that you're able to get are guppies. But they're mostly sold as being endlers while they're guppies.
Japan blues come in different tail shapes these days...

Hi emerald king. Thank you so much for the information . Your very knowledgeable, I’d like to have a total of 4 of these fish, what ratio male to female do you suggest? Thanks.

yeah it is either a hybrid endler guppy or a guppy since it is bigger the other male endlers are harrasing it. If it is new they will try and set a pecking order and they will fight for a bit and once it is over it is fine

1-3 for a perfect 4 guppies!
or you could get just 4 males.
the other smaller endler males will also harras and breed with the guppy females so make sure each one of the males gets at least 2 females

Hi, yes iPhone 12 pro.

Thank you to everyone who has given me info over the past 24 hours. I’m off to the shop later to see if I can find him some tank mates. Have a good day!
