Male Or Female?

[Mr.September15]

Hey all...I was just curious about all the Plakat pictures I've seen in the past day. ... It seems that both male and females dont really have long fins. I just was wondering how can all of you tell between Male and Female Plakats?

The most sure-fire way is to look for the presence of an ovipositor, which is a small white "dot" located slightly caudal to the belly of females.

So the males wouldnt have the white dot?

Right

Look at the pics of Synirr's lady in "Guess what I'm doing." In both pics the white dot is prominant. I think that lady is ready to let go some eggs, if the prominance of the white dot means anything. I'm asking, if someone knows?
