that one's a guppy, not what she has. you have to really know your livebearers (like I do) to see the differences in the species.

wait..

so she has mosquito fish or something?

hmm..

can't help that then, can't I? :D

:huh:
Gambusina affinis, A.K.A mosquito fish. they live throughout southern north america, and have been introduced to various locales all over the world to help fight mosqiuto bourne diseases by eating mosquito larvae. the main differences between them and guppies are 1. size 2. tail shape (look closely at the tails) 3. rotundness. (mosquito fish are a lot rounder than guppies.) 4. iridesence. mosquito fish have a bodily iridescence that guppies lack.

what do male mosquito fish look like?
I think I have some kind of guppy......I'll get some more pics of them.
 
no, trust me bettagurl, I have experience with these fish. they are mosquito fish. males have a gonopodium and are smaller, like most other livebearers.
