Ok, well, I bought a balloon molly, and I thought the males would always have a very promonent gonopodium, but with this guy, I can’t tell if it’s a male or a female :/

Going to add photo link in details. Please help me sex this fishie.
I thought it would have a prominent gonopodium like:

But this one looks to have a female anal fin, but it’s colored white on the edge and longer than most females I think.

Heres some pictures of my balloon Molly!

A more zoomed in picture of 2 of them. The top picture makes me think its a male, the bottom makes me think it’s a female. I’m confused. Same fish.

Open Question: Thinking of getting Edler Guppies and breeding them ?

Published on January 9, 2010 by Technology Slice

Hi, I have got a 15 gallon tank with 3 male guppies and 4 pygmy puffer fish. It has a air powered filter a heater, light live plants and rocks. Once all the fish in this tank die I am thinking of getting Elder guppies ? I have bred fancie guppies, the 3 males in my tank are fancie guppies all the females are in my 65 gallon tank. How easy are Edler guppies to breed ? What should you feed them ? Do I need a breeder box for the fry ? I used a breeder box for my fancie guppies for 2 weeks should I do this with Edler guppies ? How long do they live for ? How many can I fit happily in a 15 gallon tank ? By the way I feed my 3 fancie guppies and 4 pygmy puffer fish live/frozen blood worms, brine shrimp only live, daphia live/frozen and live snails for the puffers teeth. I want to breed Elder guppies because I head they are endangered in the wild and I would like to keep the strain alive and give the babies to the pet shop for people to buy and breed them to keep them alive Do you even think this is a good idea ? Or should I get any other fish that I can breed ? I also have loads of baby brine shrimp, do I feed new borns baby brine shrimp ?

Please Help!
