I Need Pics Of Male & Female Black Molly

[Prinmel]

I just got 3 black mollies and told the guy I wanted two female and one male, but I think I got 3 males... can someone post pictures of a male and a female so that I can see what they are supposed to look like for sure.

Thanks!!!!

I have a pinned post to explain how to sex common livebearers. It can be found here and works just as well for mollies.

The two simplest ways to sex them are.

• Is the anal fine (then fin near the bum) pointed?
• Is the dorsal fin large?

If so then these are males
females have triangle anal fin and smaller dorsal fins

Male

Female

Thanks, I was pretty sure I was looking at it right, I had 3 males, so I took them back to switch out for females and the guy was still saying they were female, I also at that time got some other and he gave me 2 males and 1 female.. again... so he got flustered and went to lunch and passed me off to somone who knew what she was doing.... Thanks for the pics!
