we need a pic with the flash on, it wont scare her at all, i need to see the eyes to see whether its a platy or not

Here is a picture out of my platy book:
Sorry about the bad quality.
Trust me guys when i say, ITS A RARE BLACK PLATY.

 

[modaz]

yep thats a platy, the lighter picture has helped, the first pic must of just been the angle of the platy when pic was taken so it made her look molliefied

 

[platyfanatic]

Lol finally you all agree that i have bought a platy and not a mollie.
Anyway i have a rare black platy lol, yey!

Well...the picture out of your platy book is a platy, but for a proper ID of your actual fish a picture with the flash on is still needed .

 

[platyfanatic]

Ok will post one tomorrow, will the flash scare her though?

 

[three-fingers]

Maybe, but when I take pictures of my fish with the flash they don't even notice it .

 

[platyfanatic]

Ok i wont take one with a flash, i will just make it bright.

 

[modaz]

hold on...............i cant believe i didnt notice the top bit that said it was from your platy book oh well, the book is a platy defo but there is a question on your own pic though still.............sorry

No, just do flash, it won't scare her, I have to do flash all the time and my fish seem to like the attention. My bet is it's a molly though, never trust them LFS.

This is a molly:

 

[platyfanatic]

Sorry guys i cant get another pic of her.
She just wont keep still.
Anyway she is definately a platy, and if you dont believe me then tough.

Still, looks like a molly from the picture + black platies with that colouring are pretty rare, usually they have clear fins and some silver/white on their body.
Secondly, in the pic it could just be that the anal fin is down, but to me it looks like a gonpodium, which only adds to the confusion lol .

If your 100% sure it's not a mollie then that pic must look the fish look way different anyway.

But at the very least it's a platy/swordtail cross (almost all platies have swordtail in them anyway) .

ITS A BLOODY PLATY !!!!!
By the way yes she is a female, her anal fin was down in that pic.

ITS A BLOODY PLATY !!!!!

i feel we should invoke more confidence in platyfanatics abilities to tell a platy from a mollie as they did buy the fish! i would love a black platy they are so rare! can never find anything like it!!!!! (also the black platy in my book doesnt have silver coloured fins and whilst the coloured fins are rarer it is possible)
