Guppy
A kind of fish · also called Millionfish, Rainbow fish, Common guppy
About
The guppy is a tiny freshwater fish that grows to about the length of a standard paperclip.
Female guppies are noticeably longer and thicker than males, while the smaller males carry more elaborate fins. Compared to related livebearers like swordtails and mollies, guppies are among the smallest common aquarium species. Even at this minuscule size, females can give birth to dozens of fully formed, free-swimming fry at once.
From Wikipedia
The guppy, also known as the peacock fish, millionfish or rainbow fish, is a member of the family Poeciliidae and, akin to most New World members of the family, is classified as a livebearer. Male guppies, which are smaller than females, have ornamental caudal and dorsal fins.
