Can anyone help to identify this fish

[stevenhum]

I just bought some fishes the other day. Mistook it for guppy. I realised it wasn't when I released into the tank a short while later. Can anyone help??? Thanks.

They are micropoecilia picta males.

Thank you very much Lucas. You guys are really helpful here.

If you got these from C328, they're all males. You need several or these two will keep nipping each other.

Sometimes c328 sells micropoecilia picta red. they are ready packed in bags and placed in the tanks at the side. This is a possible way you can get females as sometimes there will be females inside, there was once i got a bag with 3 pairs inside.

Hmm, so far did not see any females in the bags at C328 but I might have missed them. These wild type picta typically only come as all males. The ones that were at C328 were being sold at the "lelong" price of 80 cents each but nobody bought them.
