ok well I've had my swordtails for about 7 months now and NO babies, just recently I discovered that my "male" sword tail is a lyretail sword so I began wondering even though "his" tailfin has a long sword on the bottom the finnage on the top of the fin is long as well... so I began wondering do male swordtails also have different anal fins? if so I think my "male" may be a female just with long lyretail finnage... well here's a pic, what's your opinions?:

Look's like a female to me, but not 100% sure.
 
yes it is a female. A female lyre tail swordatail. Being a lyre tail they would both have swords.
 
thanks for the pic polard, well definelty a female and that would explain why I have no babies (5 females in the tank instead of 1 male and 4 females) thanks everyone for your help.
