[salts155]

now the male and female are fighting, is this good or bad she's seems to be winning

 

[hughessomefish]

the males are fighting over whos genes are going to get passed on basicly

Congrats on your fry ,you have 17 to keep you busy so all good

The female might be playing hard to get,as i expect the male wants to mate with her...

 

[salts155]

oh right all good then,

going to buy a plastic breeding capture to transfer fry in to, looks a bit better than a net.

[Harlequins]

It looks like a male,but not sure if he/she has its fin pulled up or not

Here have a look on this thread,it shows a good indication of male & female livebearers

Which one does your dalmation fin look like? pointed fin or round fin in front of its anal fin?

 

[salts155]

going by that its a she it does not have a 'willy'shaped fin just the anal fin and two other either side of her belly

 

[hughessomefish]

ok well if you notice that molly has a "string" hanging from it but area , all the females have a fin attached to there "butt"

and its in a half circle shape like this )

thats how i exsplian it to my little cousins
