Pat, thanks for posting the guppies pics to tease me... Hahaha
Guess you know by now I am into guppies.
Don't discuss the Balloon guppies with show guppies enthusiates, they hate it. It's viewed as a deformed fish.
Your first fish look good though. I suppose it should be called a 'Blond Red Snakeskin Spadetail'. Quite a mouthful I know. This kind of 'odd shape tail' is rather popular in Europe. There are also the Pin Tail, Sword Tails (Top, Bottom and Double), Round Tail etc.
The second fish probably won't attract a second glance.
BTW I drooled looking at your Ranchu. I especially like the Chinese Lion Head one? Too bad I won't have the time and energy to branch into that.
