Male or female platy

[Fishyyyy]

Hi, I just brought some platies. I asked for all males, however since bringing them home I have a feeling one is female. Can anyone help?

(It’s gills also looks really red is this a cause for concern)

Thank you

could be a young male

the red is from the gills showing through the pale gill covers. it's just the colouration of the fish, (it doesn't have a lot of pigment in the gill cover)

Ah okay thank you, it is quite a bit smaller than the others

its fin seems to be forming a gonopodium
