This is my male. can someone identify it? the guy at the pet store saidd it was a rare species and that they only get those every so often:

Well ther guy in shop dose not know what he's talking about.

Firstly their all males, you don't have any females there.
And all are very common.
Full yellow's are always in the wholesales lists

With that thing youve drawn on its a male

i think its called a gonodopium ? males have them to fertilise females

helterskelter · Aug 15, 2008

If you keep all males they should be ok just dont add any females or they may start to fight over them. unless u have several femlaes.

You sex guppies the same as platies and other common livebearers.

Here is a females guppy with a rounded anal fin

Yes it's called a gonopodium. it's just a modified anal fin.

keep the males, with your female platies aswell you'll soon get over run with fry if you have female guppies too

i just got a refund on the so called females that were males. the tank that they got the "females" from was mislabled as all females. turns out, they are all males :lol:

! i gave them back cause it was their mistake and they needed to give me arefund and because those two were starting to fight and nip at my yellow one.

also, my yellow one is just swimming at the top of the water, is this normal?

My orange and black hi fin platy is trying to mate with my new red sunburst platy! i wonder how the fry will turn out?
