How do you tell the sex of guppies?
sandy
hi dreama

Male guppies are smaller and are more brightly coloured, they also have an adapted anal fin to mate with the females.
Females are usually bigger and a dull colour with a coloured shorter tail. Females have a rounded anal fin and a gravid spot which is the area behind their bellies to show how advanced the babies are.
The heavier in pregnancy she is the darker this spot will become.

male's anal fin is not round. it is rather sharp-looking. has a lot of coloration.

female's stomach are much more rounder, and anal fin is rounded. has little to no color. very bland.
