How do you tell the sex of a Platy?

[Zenn]

I want to know what gender my platy is at the moment, because i wish to breed them.... Can someone tell me please?

 

[bunjiweb]

The females have a small triangular fin at their anus and the males have a small spike, i.e. the penis.

I think this is the best way to tell.

Thanks, so that means my Leapod Platy is a femlae then me thinks... i got to get a male...

 

[EX-AmP]

ratio should be 2 females to 1 male

Oh, ok, that maybe a problem then, because i wish not to over stock, i might just stick to getting a pleco then...

Thanks for your help anyways
