He's bigger than all the females by a sizable amount, probably 1.5x the size of a full sized female... he has fringes on his tail, he's just HUGE. ive NEVER seen anything like him in any store before, or even online, i just wanna find out what he is so i can ID him... he's successfully bred with my females, but the offspring havent turned out as large as he has, theyre only 3/4 the size of him, or smaller, he was mixed in with a batch of feeders...

It looks like a generic feeder guppy. He may just be the fish equivalent of a 7'6" person. It's a little hard to judge exactly how big the fish is. If the other fish I'm seeing are average-sized neons, the male guppy isn't all that big.
 
here is some cropped close ups. and there are no neons in my tank... and if all feeder guppies look like this, where are you getting your feeder guppies?

Typicaly anything not pure Endler that gets returned to the LFS is put in the feeder tank, so there can be some neat finds. I have a few yellow dragon guppy endler hybrids that look cool, but would not be saleable.

This link has a bunch of differnt wild endler strain pics you can compare to 1 NATIVE WILD ENDLERS

The larger size is a sign of a guppy/endler hybrid.
