agent_alice Hobbyist Posts: 114 Kudos: 115 Votes: 0 Registered: 11-Jul-2004	I have two platys, and i'm pretty sure that they are females, because i read about the pointed anal fin for males and such. So I went to the store today in search of a male, but i didn't buy one, because as soon as i got there, i lost my confidence and didn't think i can differentiate between the sexes. Does anyone have pictures of male and female platys so i can look at them and know for sure?
