Cool Guppy

RichJM · 09-17-2006, 06:12 PM

I bought 6 guppies, 2 males and a female, one of the males looks really cool, I've never seen one like it before at any store, is it rare or something? Here are a few pictures of him, I know they're blurry but it's my first attempt at taking pictures of my fish.

He looks like an endler/guppy hybrid to me. Don't quote me on that, though.

They're called "lyretail" guppies. Very pretty one you've got there!

I agree...that's a lyretail guppy. Very nice coloring.

Looks like the wild guppies they sell here as feeders

The color on the body sure looks like a cross with an Endler. It definitely looks nice.

i just saw some guppies like that on the discovery channel called
Jamacan guppies,they even had the same kind of tail.

It looks to me like a wild Guppy with a slightly elaborate tail (Happens frequently) If you buy several dozen feeders you'll get quite a few with that color pattern, tails are of course subject to being any shape you can imagine.

I doubt endlers but that is also possible. I get quite a few of these from my Fancy guppies (With no influence from the endlers) so they really aren't that uncommon, but probabnly take a backseat to the fancier fish in the pet stores.

Either way, that's a cool looking guppy, good find.
