I am the Loach Queen...fear me, mortal!
Ok, this may be a stupid question, but I heard somewhere that some livebearers can change their gender... Dunno if it's true or not, but I figured I'd ask.
I think this happening with one of my two young swords. They were in a tank with my nicest betta at first and both looked like females. Then I moved them into their permenant home, with my adult Platies and Swords, and for the past month and a half they've still looked like females.
Well, now the bigger one, is starting to develop a gonopodium. No sword yet, that I can see. The thing is, he/she is in a tank with all females, as I lost all of my male Platies and Swords. So can the younger fish sense this, ans they are changing their gender to make a few males in the tank?
I dunno...I'm confused, and I'm sure I just confused half of you guys as well.
