    Hi,

    Friend of mine sent me this photo of one of his new Guppies.
    Looks like a male, but it does have a female gravid spot.

    Any opinions?

    The Gonopodium is 'n sure Male ID... Rather transparent males do show .... Uhm.... Pooh ready for discharge ..... The female Gravid spot is a definite triangular shaped... (when it shows).......

    @Cheetah,

    Thanks.
    I also thought so.
    The only thing that made me doubt is the possibility that this batch was hormone treated at the fish farm to get them to colour up nicely.
