Hi! I have a question. I got two creamsicle mollies today, and I think I have a male and a female judging from their differences. Can anyone confirm?10960130_10152726994208108_8119028963885229554_o.jpg1966040_10152726994213108_4450940546388393034_o.jpg

Tell tale sign with livebearers is males have a gonopodium. It's too hard for me to tell at that angle in the pictures, but take a good look yourself and it should be pretty evident.

Yup...need pics of their undersides (ventral).

Thanks! It took a few pictures for them to stay still. I'll work on that when I get home ha-ha.

It looks like two males from what I can see. Should I take one back? They do not seem to be fighting.

No, it's fine. They usually fight over females. Don't get females unless you want a bunch of baby mollies overrunning your tank....

My eyes exploded from the colors. :uhoh:

Kidding! This appears to be a brand-new setup? Has the tank been cycled?

It's a little over a month old. I cycled it without fish as the fish store advised. Wrong? :uhoh: and don't hate on my colors I like them! :silly:

It's not what most people here would have advised, but at this point there isn't much you can do except make sure you are keeping water quality up to par. Do you have a good test kit for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate?
