September 27, 200719 yr comment_185325 How old are they, takes a while for the males to develop their gonopodiums (basically they have to hit puberty before the bottom fin changes.) Report
September 27, 200719 yr comment_185377 Yeah I have platys about the same size as yours and they all like females I think it takes a while for males to develop a gonopodium. Report

September 28, 200719 yr comment_185397 If they're all females they haven't hit maturity yet. You'll get a 50/50 split. The males anal fin will slowly turn in to a gonopodium. Report
