Hello,
About a month ago I bought some live floating plants and found a few random fry that got caught in the roots. I called the store owner but he wasn’t sure what they could be. I’m pretty sure they are some sort of livebearer based on the male and female anal fin structure - I thought they were guppies at first until they stopped growing at half the size of my other guppies, and my other guppies ignore them. The main distinguishing characteristics are that they have dark stripes under the eyes, tiny speckles on the fins, and a light blue iridescent spot between the gills and eyes. I’ve attached pictures of the fish. Any help ID-ing these fish would be appreciated! :)

If there is no colour in the male I would be inclined to say Mosquito fish
