Hey Stu, the fish in the upper right corner of the last picture you linked appears to be a female platy. Notice the anal fin is fan shaped, but on your new platy the anal fin is shaped like a finger. That's how you tell the difference.

It's definitely a male, no doubt about it.

Are you trying to get fry with a specific pattern/ coloration?
