I have been trying for weeks to get a good photo of my little guppy who I call Joseph, due to his coat of many colors. The trouble with Joseph is he never wants to stay still so I can get a good photo. He is always chasing the girls and avoiding the nipping angelfish even though he is the smallest guppy in the tank. In fact, I have neon tetras bigger than he is. This photo (although not greatly in focus) best shows of his coat of many colors.

Before I even saw the photo I said to my self many colours.
Moving fish are always difficult to photograph.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Is he an Endler's? I've always loved those guys.

If he isn't, I'd put money on him being a cross He's just lovely!

I thought Endler's too, when I saw him. Where did you get him?
Beautiful fish!

He looks like Endlers, but in Aust at present there is available a Venezuelan wild caught species which has a body more closely matching my Joseph. Perhaps he is a crossbred of those?
I did have Endlers and Venez ones but a columnaris outbreak a while ago cleaned all of those up, except for little Joseph who was even littler then.
Here is a photo a month earlier when he was displaying his dorsal for the girls. What girl guppy wouldn't be dazelled by that?
