Dawn Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 It could be a female Swordtail but it also might be a female Platy, it's hard to tell the difference although I'm sure there is one - I've just never had Swordtails just hundreds of Platies!

Bruce Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 It could be a cross also, plattys and swords will inter breed /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 It could be a male swordtail too. Notice the thickening of the leading edge of the anal fin. Also, is that a slight elongation of the base of the caudal? Late developers like this, if I'm correct, normally have the best finnage and grow to large specimens.

livebearer_breeder Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 ahh, actually Alan could be right, I did not take the time to look :oops: What size is it at the momment Paul? Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 its a fair size , 4cm maybe a little more, no sign of a sword. It has had a dark spot ( gravid spot) in the past but never carried thru to any fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
