The swordtail I'm thinking of is a member of the livebreeding family Poecilidae which also includes guppies, mollies and platies. The easiest way to tell is by the shape of the anal fin. These fish produce live young. They practise internal fertilisation, and the male puts his sperm inside the female by use of a penis-like organ known as a gonopodium. This is next to the vent, just behind the pectoral fins. Males and females have pectoral fins that look much the same, but the anal fin of the female hangs down in a large triangle when she is relaxed (although it may tuck up to resemble a males when she is swimming.) The male's always looks the same (except during mating when it twists to the side) and it points backwards.
When mature, the males usually have brighter colors, and the females have a wider girth. However, gender is something of a moot point, because parrot cichlids are hybrids of unknown though likely African cichlid origin. Like other hybrid fish, they usually produce infertile eggs. In the few cases where the eggs are fertile, the fry do not always resemble the parents.
well a parrot is a bird and a parrot fish is a fish
a purple parrot fish is more orange if its a female and more with a purple tint is a male
Yes a parrot fish female could turn into a parrot fish male it changes gender and color :}
male is huge and grey female is colurful
Parrot fish are a man made cichlid. They did not evolve in nature but were made in a laboratory. They lay eggs so they can not get pregnant.
Typically the males are the ones with the longer flowing fins.
No, the only fish that do that is the parrot fish.
Fish are ectothermic and sea squirt is not
What about Blood Parrot Fish?
is a parrot fish a herbivore
by looking at the parrot fish?
Parrot fish do not get pregnant so there is nothing to do.
