I am wondering how to sex a platy? I currently have 3 in my community tank and would like to know if I can expect any little babies in the near future? Thanks!

The male has a short "tube" called gonopodium in place of the anal fin, while the female has a normal triangular anal fin.

yep the triangular anal fin (female) is always a give away, even on small fry you can sometimes tell! Good luck with the fry if you have them...I had a whole bunch of mickey-mouse fry in my ten gallon and they are the cutest things...
