Please help me. Very small livebearers have taken over my outdoor fish tank and pond. I don't mind them. I just want to know what they are. I am not sure if they are mini guppies, or endlers, or mosquito fish. They are about 1-3 cm long. Females are longer and wider then males. Their fry is colorless and it's 1/3 size of guppy fry.
 
The male is clearly an endler's but the female could be a hybrid. Female endlers livebearers have a golden body color rather than silver. It could be just the picture but that's something I noticed.
 
Male coloration def looks like a endler but I'm not sure about the female...
 
I think it looks more like your typical wild-type guppy mix. I have seen similar pictures on the NANFA forum. Poecilia genetic cocktail. That is the color that wild type guppies get.

Ok.t hanks,

There are a lot of them with silver or pale bodies but a few have yellow/gold bodies. DO you want a top view?

How did they get there?

XD I have no clue.

Endlers it looks to me like
Thanks.
 
Definitely endlers. Coloration of the female could be due to light, or time of day.
