That is an awesome looking guppy! Is there a reason some have large fan-like tails like yours and some don't? I have one that has a tail like yours (not the same colors) does that make it show quality?
 
The only major difference is that certain guppy lines are selective bred for finnage or color traits. That means the breeder basically pulls out the most colorful, biggest finned fish to breed rather than just keeping a mixed up group to breed (aka most pet store type guppies).
 
This is my favorite guppy :) the pictures really don't do him justice, plus he wouldn't stay still lol

Ok. Well here is my guppy. Looks better in person. I got it from the Lfs so I'm sure it's better quality bred than petco,Walmart, etc...
