PÉPÉS GUPPIES multi-seven-color giant

I consider the following as colors

  Silver  Gold  Black  White as well as the normal colors  yellow  green  blue  orange  red

I consider a multi colored fish as having distinct colors where they are not shades of the same color.
If the fish has orange in one part and red in another then its two colors, but if it is orangey red, then this is classified as one color, unless you can see distinct patches of the two colors.
I do not consider snakeskin type guppies as multi colored, unless you can see the colors distinctly.

Therefore a multi seven colored fish could be a fish with
black pectoral fins,
white pelvic fins,
yellow anal fin or gonopodium,
pink dorsal fin,
red caudal fin,
silver and blue body.
Diagram Male Guppy 1997

A giant Guppy is a fish that is a least three times the volume of a normal guppy.
A normal Guppy grows 1 to 2 inches say 2.5 to 5 cm and would have a volume of something like 0.5 to 2.5 cubic cm and weight about 0.5 to 2.5 gram
The male is the smaller.     Say approx. 0.5 cubic cm about 0.5 gram weight
and the female the larger   Say 2.5 cubic cm about 2.5 gram weight
Therefore a giant male must grow to a least 1.5 cubic cm 1.5 gram in weight
and a giant female must grow to at least 7.5 cubic cm 7.5 gram weight
Note a giant male would be nearly the size of a normal female. I have had males at least this size.
The exact volume of a fish is difficult to calculate, without accurate equipment, so these figures are approximate, but the magnitude is more or less correct.
