Question
i  need help identifying a fry. its rather swordtail, molly or guppy. it has a red/orange stomach, its probably 1 cm at 1-2 weeks, it has a white/clear tail.

Answer
Hi Caleb,

Sounds like a swordtail to me.

Orange stomach will progress and darken with age.  Could be a molly as well, but mine usually start out pretty bland, or solid black.  They aren't born really colorful most of the time.

Swordtail is my educated guess. :)
