Anyone ever seen such a fish, I found three down a tiny back alley at the fish market and they have just had fry.
I just wonder if they exist or am I seeing things? The vendor had no English not one word, and he only had five. So I took two females and a male. No mention on the internet that I can find. There are blue platy fish, but platinum blue with red fins? Anyone seen them before. They are just starting to relax in their garden vat so I will get some good shots soon. Look to be more towards the "variatus" in shape and size.
The colour looks very much like a Beta splendens, the only other fish I've seen with that platinum colour, and guppy, but these have nothing guppy about them. They couldn't be a hybrid between splendens because as far as I know they are different species and these are certainly fertile as well. Splendens is also not a live bearer, these are certainly that.
Strange, but they move quite snake like and very effectively. Something for you Sunbeam56, you seem to have the knack at finding out these things.
