I'm pritty sure the blue one is male, the orrange one... female? The blue one just keeps chasing it everywhere! When I brougt the fish I was told they was all males.


Thanks!

I'm sure they are both male.

males have a 'gonopodium' instead of a flag shaped anal fin:

female:

Male:

Awsome thanks! Any ideas why the big blue one is always chasing the big orrange one? Been doing it ever since they were first put in!

I got two orrange (small and big)
I got two blue (small and big)

All doing their own thing apart from the two big ones, the orange doesnt chanse the blue, its ALWAYS the blue chasing the orrange, or is this normal behavor lol?

Thanks guys, appriciated advice

I think the orange one is female... I see no obvious gonopodium, and it's rather plump for a male.

The blue one in the video is DEFINITELY male though.

Orange one looks like a female to me too. You can see one of the blue males nipping at her underneath near the start my males done this all the time to my females also you can see the blue male displaying to her see when he sorta bends himself then he shakes that's him showing off !

Keep a look out for babies in about 3-6weeks!

I like the part where she looks like shes about to go for him at the end.

 

[SchottayB]

haha cool, thanks guys! Wooo babys should be coming in a few weeks then haha? I thought she was getting bigger! Wasn't that big when I first got her.

Amazing, cant wait


Will she be ok in there, as theres 4 in total, 3 are deffonatly males, the orrange is the female

 

[kizno1]

you need to up the females there should be to females to every male to stop the males from harrasing them

 

[Kizz]

yup kizno is correct normal ratio is 3 females to 1 male either take 2 of the males back and swap or get some more females then if fry survive keep some females and any nice lookin males then you can pick and choose which ones you want to stay and can grow your own stock ! thats what i done ended up with some gorgeous males !

 

[lilfishie]

its male, if you look about 5 seconds from the end you can see his gonopodium

 

[kizno1]

i though it was awell

The orange one? It's almost definitely not male...we could do with another video to be 100% (because they were sold as males), but I'm pretty damn sure that orange guppy is female. Plus the male is certainly nipping at her underside before angling his gonopodium around...

The Orange one is a male . they are all males
