Caper Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I would have bet money that my dalmation platy was a male when I bought it. Watching tonight...OMG...I think it's a female. Can they change sex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I know sword-tails can, and platys are a close relative to swords.... this happens when you have a majority of same-sex in the tank and they switch sexes to enable reproduction. Funny that no one told you this before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I think I have read it before...but I still don't seem to have much luck when using the "search". I did have 4 male platies, one of the new guys passed away So, I thought I was left with 3 males...and unless I didn't look close enough when I bought this one...but I was sure he was a male. Anyway, either way...if this is a female...and the other 2 are males...that's trouble is not, 1 female to 2 males. Although, they other 2 don't seem to be bother with...him/her???
