Instruction
1. Goldfishes (vualekhvosta, telescopes, lvinogolovka, comet, etc.). Pay attention to a shape of a paunch: if it roundish, then before you most likely a female. But at some fishes having the extended body as, for example, at comets, this way to distinguish a floor it is almost impossible. Look at front fins, the male has jags, besides, during the marriage period he on branchiate covers has hillocks.
2. Viviparous small fishes (guppy, mollineziya, petsiliya, sword-bearers, etc.). Males at the guppy are painted brightly, have the magnificent extended tails and fins. Samochki, on the contrary, ordinary-looking. Sword-bearers have the tail fin extended in the form of one or two swords. All a zhivorodok can be distinguished on a gonopodiya – to body for fertilization of females.
3. It is difficult to define a sex at skalyariya though there are some distinctions - a male brighter and has a little convex forehead, but it does not give to 100% of confidence. Better choose the created couple at once, skalyariya usually find to themselves the partner in life in young age.

5. Lyaliusa in 1.5-2 months get bright coloring on which it is possible to define a sex of small fishes. Males have the pointed fin on a back and red short moustaches. At a female, on the contrary, a fin roundish, and short moustaches yellow. During courting the male becomes much brighter and sends a female then he builds a nest of vials of air.
6. To distinguish somik, at first it is necessary to define what subspecies the considered small fish treats. If it is difficult, then look at a back fin. At some males it high, luchevidny, and at a female rounded off. Still pay attention to chest fins, males of some subspecies have jags or a fin sharp. Besides, if to look at a small fish from above, then the female will be allocated with a reinforced paunch.
7. Cockerels very beautiful aquarium fishes, males are much more intensively painted, and fins are much longer, than at females. Besides, if two males get to you, then peacefully they will not begin to live in one aquarium therefore their names are still combative small fishes.
