I drew the fish as Platies but it is the same for Guppies, Mollies and Swordtails.

FYI I made the picture, not stolen.

Tolley, that is the best explanation to help the people, although......some of the guppies we sexed this weekend are surely gay.......you just cant decide if it is a female or male.....

The anal fin is as long as the normal one's gonopodium, but it is very wide the same time?

gay?? dont you mean a-sexual?

gay surely even in the fish would would be a male fish fumbling round with another male fish..

and unknown sex fish would be a-sexual.
