Male Or Female Guppie?

[SchottayB]

Oh god lol, shall I try and get another video? Sorry my cam isn't great.

Ok, well now even the small orange one is going for the big one now (nipping the underneath)

Heres another video, I have no idea what part of the fish I need to record though lol... but the big orange one does have a big belly compared to the other 3, sorry i'm crap with the camera!

Definitely female. I thought I saw a gonopodium once but after replaying 3 more times...lol. I figured that actually the flicker I saw was actually the pair of anal fins. The female has a single fin that in the males becomes the gonopodium, and then the pair of anal fins.
It is definitely definitely a female. Watch the males and you'll see them pointing their gonopodium towards the female. Watch her, just triple check and see if she has one.
I really really really think it's a female though.

WIth curiosity on that too !Def Female at very start of the film you can see the shadow of her gravid spot

JDubz has given you a picture of how to tell the sexes apart on common poecilia, which includes guppies. Here is another pair of pictures that may be clear enough for you to tell yourself. They are of Heterandria formosa but the fin shapes involved are the same. The fin right next to where the fish's wastes come out is shaped different on males and females.

On this male you can see a rather long thin fin at that place. His fin is as spread out as it can be, it is not folded at all.

This is a picture of a female of the same species. Instead of being long and thin, that same fin is triangular or as JDubbz said it is shaped like a fan.

Since your pictures are terrible, I can't tell you for your fish but if you try you can easily see the difference in person once you know what to look for. These pictures are a little grainy since I blew up a fish that is only 3/4 inch long in real life to the size you see here.

Their all males 100%

I'll be willing to put a years wages in it....
Females do not have the red in the body
and in both videos you can se a gonopodium.

 

[Curiosity101]

The large orange isn't a male...the smaller orange one is as is the blue one. If you're so sure that the large orange is male then...Why is it so plump in comparison?
Why is it the smaller males are only intent on mating with that one? If it's male then why would they not be mating with each other aswell?

To be honest without proper clear pictures it's not a definite answer. The answer will be in a couple of weeks time when the fish has fry... Or not, as some others think.

wait for the fish to grow big and see if he/she squares off as pregnant guppies do.

 

[lilfishie]

its definately male, they all are, i have had chucky males before, some bigger than pregnant females!

its male, they are just showing each other who is boss

 

[betta fish]

Your orange guppy is FEMALE! she is pregnant too, no way on earth a male guppy could get that wide in the tum! plus her tail spread is nothing like a males would be, it is too small, and she is larger than the males, more and more female guppies are now being bred to show colours so the fact she is orange has nothing to do with her being male or female, get some more girlies to spread out the attention from the males, you should get fry from her soon, keep us posted!

The big orange one? She looks female to me, plus the fact that the little orange male wouldn't leave her alone. She also looks pregnant.

 

[SchottayB]

Thanks for all the replys

Well I'm no fish expert so I guess I will have to give it a few weeks and see what happens with her/him.

I'll keep you updated when somthing changes

It's 100% male again

You could tell from the 1st video.
I've only kepet these fish for over 20 years and would stake my life on it if i had too.

Thanks mate, well when I brought them I was told they was all male.

There was a female tank and a male tank, all 4 was from the male tank, so the LFS told me any how

Perhaps wait-and-see is the best method to go with here.
Since no one can agree.
What pet store did you purchase them from? I know some can be fairly incompetent...
