It's cool that you know anatomy of fish.

Thanks for explanations!

Got a tank and molly from someone, the search brought up this thread and the picture, very helpful. Appears that the molly I have is a female, now to get it some company tomorrow.

Well done Tolley! That will help a lot of members with their livebearers.

Trolley, that's real good and thank you for the drawings. I know that gourami are not livebearers but can you do something similar for Gourami??

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

FYI I made the picture, not stolen.

Illustration is greatly appreciated. I've been staring for weeks at my Platys trying to decide what I had ( I have 3). Since I am so new at this, I didn't realize when I purchased fish I could ask for M/F. Your drawing has told me I have 3 Females .. which means I came home with a pregnant platy (since I now have 15 frys.)

thanks again
Cheers
