Male Or Female?

piratedninja · May 24, 2007

ive had this platy for over a month now and i believe its a female but could be a male i cant decide
heres what the anal fin looks like (lilfishie i hope you dont mind me stealing your pic, if you do leme know and i'll remove it)

here is the original pic by lilfishie

as you can see the anal fin on my platy is pointed but pointing down instead of pointing back like it does on a male
i believe the platy is fully grown as its about 1.75in

Most likely male. Fish start off looking all female, but anything that looks sort of male, is probably a male.

lilfishie · May 25, 2007

i'd say male too

kewskills · May 25, 2007

i'd say male also, lilfishie your art is famous

plagiarism at its best, hang on can you plagiarise pictures :unsure:

lilfishie · May 25, 2007

not sure, but i have made my own so will be using that in furture :good:

Its definately a male livebearer if its 6months or older, but are you sure its a platy? There are some rarer livebearers that i can think of which look kinda similar to platys but their gonopodium sticks downwards more than what is usual in male platys. If you can get pics that would help a great deal :thumbs:

i'll have to get a hold of a better camera

o and i dont think its plagarism if you include the original pic but idk
i could have drawn a pic myself but it was getting late so i decided not to

im 99.9% sure its a platy, because it looks just like my other platy which is definately a female

looks like a male, do you have any pics of him?

lilfishie · May 26, 2007

depending on its colour, if tis a female you might be able to see a gravid spot which is the red part on my own lil drawing

yer it sounds like a male but you want to make sure that the fish have a gravid spot if so a female, you could also see the size of the female.

if you are able to get a pick it will be much easier to examine
