It's a male. Definatly. The Sword can take a while to develop.

I agree you can see the gonopodium indicating its a male.

Yupp I agree that's a male. It looks really cool too! Good job on breeding them and keeping them alive

I have a 2.5 inch female swordtail that has a stubby .5 inch tail.

That is male. The bottom fin is a dead give away. He is a handsome little fella though.

Definitely a male. It has a very distinct gonopodium.

Swords only need the gonopodium, the swordtail is less neccesary.

I don't understand the voting. This is not a popularity contest, it is a gender determination on a fish that has obvious primary sex characteristics. It is a male with absolutely no doubt. The fact that your sword has yet to develop a sword tail does not change his gender.

the 'sword' tail will come later. male without a doubt

Agreed Male. Sometimes polls are a lot easier to get information from compared to scrolling and checking every post. (just my conclusion as to why there is a poll here)
