My Platies

[sawmy]

The yellow is deffinately male
The black one does look rather fat in the pic tho, hes not really that fat


Can females turn to males??? As when we bought the black one we could have sworn it was female, but now it deffinately has the bit that is noticably different in the genders.

If you can get a pic up from side view it would be easier, but is belly is very round and wide for a male.

I will get one as soon as i can.
Its really hard to get good enough images of them though.
Still waiting for the other 2 to give birth though

 

[sawmy]

This is the best that i could get at the moment



The little one with the blue eye is my Lampeye
We call him Norman

Definitely a male...

yup 100% male, very strange front body for a male though.

 

[sawmy]

Yeah. My other male looks completely different. But that's how he was when we got him, and he hasn't changed at all except his anal fin.

Still waiting for my two females to give birth to their fry. Orange one is near enough there i would say :] Cant wait

Good luck and keep us updated

My orange platie still hasn't managed to give birth to her fry, and she's getting extremely large now.
She seems to be having some trouble swimming to the top of the tank to eat, and spends most the time resting on the bottom now.
Does this mean that she's extremely close?

 

[nosoup4you]

Resting at the bottom and not eating could mean that she will drop soon but she should have no trouble getting to the top of the tank if she wants to.

 

[sawmy]

She's finally 'popped'
Been gone for 2 days, came home and caught sight of a fry swimming past my log
Hopefully some will survive and not get eaten by the males, catfish or fighter
