im really leaning towards the red swordtail. thanks for all help
 
oh and if your computer is really slow like mine then check out the last photo. its the best. but if you are unsure by that one then check them all out. the photos are from all different types of angles.
 
It is saying that the the picture has been deleted.
 
I think its a swordtail.
About how big is s/he? That would definitely help more, the fry are different sizes depending on the type of fish.
 
i dont know the age so i dont think the size will help although it does look like it has a little bit of a deeper body than my gups
 
thx to everyone who voted. those of you who voted swordtail. you are correct. the color in the fish has enhanced into a better red. defiately not a gup or mollie. thx
