Question: Dwarf Platy

newguppies · November 1st, 2009

I was wondering how we could find the gender of a dwarf platy I tried to look for the information all over the place but I couldn't find it so I decided to ask here

To start off - I think Dwarf platys are acctualy just juveniles sold by stores for a bit of profit... But the sexing is the same as normal platys. Males have a gonopodium in place of the anal fin, females just have a normal fin.

Dwarf Platys are real dwarfs. They stay small only growing to about an inch. I have 3 and they're all small.
