we were holding this guy for our LFS that had the fire, we ended up keeping him but i am clueless as to what he is, he was mixed up with a bunch of guppys when we brought them home. anybody know what it is? it is absolutely gorgous! I'm not good with the camera, will try to get better pic later.

Looks like your guy is a gal to me..... :hearts: its a little blurry but take a look, if the red on the belly looks like a thumbprint you've got a female.
