Wow some really gorgeous fish so far.

Here are my 2 little brothers (not my brothers) lol that were rescued from the community tank (they are about 3 months old now). One I believe is wild type, and the other Mosaic?? (anyone know for sure?)

My Blue fantail Female gave birth to 40 plus Fry on Sunday afternoon, will be a couple of months till I know how they will turn out though.

He's a top sword but with the sword gene you get no colour in the dorsal fin which i cant get right!!!!

Thanks Helter & all the rest of you's, but, what!! (I pray)....... was their original wild colouration before man intervened??..... anybody got an example???......(so far, I have at least one example of every pic displayed on this thread.... (Throwbacks)?.... Please someone,.... just agree with my earlier statement, that Guppies indeed are the most popular fish??

this is a true wild endler F3 from wild

most guppies do not have so much red to them but much the same just different colours

There you have it..... Over here,.... (South Africa).... I have no clue what an "Endler" is.... never seen them...... From the photo you have posted,... I would assume that they are (what we would call)... a common Guppy.... (not very popular).... The Guppies (that I know), are called "Show" Guppies.... (is this the difference)??

endlers are different to guppies, theyre from the same family, and can hybridize, but males are colourful whilst females are grey and drab and are bigger than males

 

[helterskelter]

true endlers is a diffent species of fish that look like guppies, how ever they cross breed easily.
Common guppy in the up are the large (delta) tails.

Show guppies are just shown to a specific layout, most shop guppies are nice but not to a show standed.

OK Trucka.... How does this differentiate from Guppies? (but males are colourful whilst females are grey and drab and are bigger than males)

I much prfer the colours of wild-type looking guppies, I have two female 'wild' guppies in my tank which I presume are feral guppies from somewhere. I love some true wild endlers like the one in that pic! Not so keen on the looks of all the different man-made guppy types, but I still like buying them to mix them up and see what the offspring look like .

Just realised I don't really have any good pics of my guppies, but the tank light is out now so I cant take more.

Here's my favourite male guppies, (almost completely black and with a round tail) they are pretty big too (2x size of father):

Here's the dad:

Sorry three-fingers the first one is a molly not a guppy, still he's a nice colour
