Last week I had 4 femail Platies. or Swordtrails:- (Platails?) and then during the water change today I saw that one of them had changed sex. She (he) is a boy with a nice pubescent tail! It only took a few days for him to develope that! So more babies to look out for soon.
sorry about the quality of the photo.... I haven't got to grips with the shutter speed yet :-(

If they’re young that’s quite common, as some develop later than others :)
Swotties - Swordtail dad, platy mum
plattails - Platy dad, swordtail mum ;)
