    Like other livebearers females should have a gravid spot. A dark spot on their belly (on each side). Younger females won't have this. The spot is actually the fry themselves.

    Males should have a pointy anal fin.

    Gestation should be about 28 days.

    In the first picture the bottom fish looks like a female. It's hard to tell from that picture. The second picture is a female.
