Poecilia reticulata è certamente più famoso con le definizioni guppy, lebistes, pesce milione, ma il suo vero nome con cui risulta nella nomenclatura scientifica è proprio questo: Poecilia reticulata.
Il Poecilia reticulata è un pesce assolutamente pacifico, che ama vivere in gruppi.
Come per quasi tutti i pesci appartenenti alla famiglia dei Poeciliidae, anche i Poecilia reticulata sono ovovivipari, e quando le femmine sono gravide si nota una evidente macchia scura in prossimità della pinna anale.

 Endlers livebearer gets formal name | Practical Fishkeeping magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The species has been placed in the Poecilia subgenus Acanthophacelus, which was originally erected by Eigenmann in 1907, and according to the authors, it is very closely related to the common guppy, Poecilia reticulata.
Poecilia wingei is found in the Campoma region of Venezuela, at the base of the Paria Peninsula.
The authors don't categorically state in the paper that Poecilia wingei is exactly the same species as the fish on sale in the trade as the Endler's livebearer, however, this does seem a plausible identity for the fish.
