A.A.ron Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 In my 10 gallon tank I have shrimp and 6 male guppies I bought back in March from Petsmart, 5 out of the 6 have grown a lot and have big bellies and fins. This one guppy hasn't grown at all in size, except his belly, fins are still short. I was wondering if there are dwarf guppies or if he just got bad genes and is small.

Colu Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 It's more than likely genetic or he was stunned thought not getting enough food in the early stages of his development 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what kind of guppy he is supposed to be? Maybe he's an endler or endler mix? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 These two 5 month olds got stuck in a planter lack of food stunted their growth. 4 week old fry with them so you can compare to yours. I love them they are fun but I wouldn’t let them breed just in case 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hmm without seeing him next to the others that look 'normal' to you, it's hard to say. He has nice coloring though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLineAquaticsSC Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Could be hybridized with an endler or something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
