my mollie seems to have the anal fin or a female sometimes, and then it goes straight like a boys.. i looked at some pictures of the boy moollie vrs. the girl mollie on sexing livebearers but my mollie seems to do both of those fins. I am pretty sure you guys tell this by second anal fin closest to the tail right? i need to know because i am getting another mollie tomorrow

As I'm picturing that in my mind... it might be a boy. However do you have a picture of it? If so then that could help alot.

no i dont..but how do you guys know for your mollies. so the boys anal fin is supposed to be straight thats the difference right.

yes, the female's anal fin is round and looks a tiny bit like a leaf.

Hi I believe if you lookunder the livebearer topic there is a thread about sexing them which has a pic. the pic works for platy, guppy, and mollies. Hope that helps.

Hi

Sounds like a female. When their anal tail is folded, it can look like a male. A male's on the other hand, can never change shape. A gonopodium is a gonopodium as we say in Mollyland! So my verdict is: female.
