Internet photo fish ID?

[PluckyD]

I have a bunch of screenshots of fish I come across from web searches (that’s normal right?) but I lost track of where this one came from and I was hoping someone could ID the fish for me. I’m assuming it’s some sort of Pseudomugil? But it’s blue and I’m not aware of any blue varieties. Any ideas?

This may be a photo taken with especially pronounced blue point LED lighting.

The nearest match I can guess would be maybe P. gertrudae…

IMHO… do not hold out for fantastic blue finnage.

Agreed on both accounts. My gertrudes were pretty drab unless the males were sparring. I have never seen them that blue but that was likely photo edits or blue light as fishfolk already said.

Another alternative is that it’s a combination of a few different fish. Been several of those photos going around recently. Alex from fishstory has done this and prime time used one on a thumbnail. Or just a regular Gertrude that someone altered the color scheme.

@PluckyD here is real life video of mine.  These are the same as the photo @Fish Folk showed

Stunning fish. But I think someone tampered with the color scheme in @PluckyD’s photos. That purple Gertrude would be insane

So, I was just listening to a recent Steenfott Aquatics livestream during some tank maintenance and happened to glance at it and guess what I found? It’s the video of the fish (around the 9 minute mark).

Unfortunately, it sounds like the clip is from someone else, and they are only tentatively identified as gertrudae.

They're beautiful fish in real life...don't need the blue tint at all.
