Need help Identifying.
First off, this is a longish post so be ready to do some reading.
So I’ve come to you my fellow fish nerds with a question. Several months ago I came into my possession 20 or so baby fish. The fry were maybe an 1/8 of an inch long. I got them for about $2. Currently I’ve got 8 to 10 of them still surviving and doing well in my 75 gallon tank. They live in a mixed community with tetras, killifish, and cichlids.
My question is, what are they? I know they’re some sort of livebearer and I think they’re platy’s but their body shape is too elongated compared to what I’m used to. I actually got some regular platys and when I see them swimming next to each other, the regular platys are stockier and about the same length. I’m not sure if these guys are platys, mollies, some sort of hybrid or possibly something else entirely.
Anyone got any ideas?
