Ive kept plenty of livebearers before, but this one is confusing me.

The bottom fin ( that you tell the difference with) is 1/2 way between what a females/ males is- its not long and pointy/ not fan shaped either- but inbetween.

He/she is 2 inches, and a gold dalmation- And i CANT see a gravid spot. If there was one there, Id be able to see it on this fish.

Its occassionally "play chasing" my f molly and f platy, like a male would before breeding, but not trying to breed.

Id post a pict- but my crappy camara is only good for taking photos at a distance.

Any ideas if I have a girl or boy?? Or a sterile molly??

Im just curious, not interested in breeding.I just thought he/she was a cutie.

i know that sword tails have the ablitiy to change sex after useing up all of her hermones. i can't remember if this is true with most livebearers, in your case mollies.

however i would prbably have to say that it is a male. i have seen mollies that have the point but it is connected like a fan on the females.

i think livebearers in general have the ability to change sex.....mine was a suppressed male(was female)..but now, its male platy.

I think Ill wait and see what happens- If i end up with babies- we'll know it was a boy
