Answer 2

Silver Lyretail Molly

Answer 3

Silver Molly

Answer 4

The anal fin of male mollies will look like a tube, it is called the gonopodium.
The anal fin of female mollies will be triangular.
Males constantly flip their anal fin down and forward, females can't move their anal fin down or forward.

There are other sexual differences, but they aren't as clear cut as the anal fin.

Answer 5

Look at the underside of the fish...it is a male if it has a little poker; if it doesn't have one, then it's a female. Check out these pictures: http://images.google.com/images?q=male+molly+fish&hl=en&rlz=1T4GZHZ_enUS238US238&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

Answer 7

Answer 8

Are they dogs? If you're talking about telling the sex of a dog, the male's penis is located on its abdomen, and the female's vagina is near the anus.
