Which species of pseudomugil

[kurtjs]

Hello, anyone able to identify this female? It's a pseudomugil but unsure what species. I'm pretty sure it's a spotted blue eye (Gertrudae).

Bought her a while back (as a female guppy) haha pretty soon realized it was not. After months of looking my shop finally got some in for added 3 more of the spotted blue eye.

The spots in the fins would suggest it's a female Pseudomugil gertrudae.
It's definitely in the P. gertrudae group (paskai, etc).

It's not in the signifer or tennellus group and isn't a cyanodorsalis. And it's not furcatus or connieae.

The following link has pictures of males but not females.

Thanks! I have both Gertrude and paskai. So either way, she'll be happy now. I was so excited when I saw the tank of gutrudes at my shop (shark reef in Tucson AZ).

I remember being mad that I bought a guppy that wasn't a guppy, but she became one of my favorites, even being so simple. The males should be amazing.

yeah, male P. gertrudae are small but if you look closely, they have colour and markings.
