Not a problem! I clicked on the thumbnail because I couldn't see any fish - and koi are big enough to see easily in a photo of that type. Guppies are my absolute favorite aquarium fish and have been since I was a little girl. I would truly love to have some outside!

Thanks a ton Karan! I'll do the changes, though I researched enough but don't how I skipped on this.

What you have here are guppies of the strain known as "half-black fantails." They are a common livebearing aquarium fish. How lucky that you are where they can be kept outside!
