Wild guppy, New Species or Micropoecilia ?

Recently I found a nice looking fish on the interenet. At the moment no one knows what to call it; some people have proclaimed it to be Poecilia spec. Orangeline and even some think its in the Micropoecilia group and bares the name Micropoecilia spec. RML. Personally I think that it might be a new species but would probably only like an endler is to a guppy. I originaly thought of it as a wild type of guppy but differences can be seen. I wouldnt care if it wasn't or was a wild type of guppy but I am wondering if they can breed like endlers and guppies can and if so I wonder what the hybrids would look like.

(thanks tobi for the picture^)

  4. Hi. Dr Poeser here. It is a (beautiful) guppy. The tip of the gonopodium gives it away. Possibly an Endler’s guppy, P. wingei.
    Cheers,
