Silver Molly

[fishy]

Hi All,

I have just started out being a fishy person...so please excuse me if I use the wrong terminology.

I have just myself em...4 Silver mollies (?) and 1 of them is bulging a bit. Plus I don't know how to identify which one is a male or female one. Could some give me some simple clues.

Thank you

Fishy

Go to Breeding Livebearers- Mollies Platies and Guppies - By William
There is a lot of good info there and some pictures. Platies and Mollies are very similar so the pics are accurate for Mollies also.



Welcome to the wonderfull world of Live bearig fish. Sounds like your fat one could be a pregnant female. If she isn't she soon will be lol.

HI THERE, THE WAY TO SEX THESE IS BY THE ANAL FIN, THE MALES IS SHARP AND GOES GACK TO THE TAIL FIN, THE FEMALES ANAL FIN IS LARGER AND HANGS DOWN, I TOO HAVE A PAIR OF THESE THEY ARE SILVER SAILFIN MOLLIES SO CALLED BECAUSE THE TOP FIN ON THE MALE STANDS UP WHEN HE SHOWS OFF OR IS AGRESSIVE. HOPE THIS HELPS.
