How can you tell the difference in male and female sunburst platy?

Male sunburst platys are typically smaller, have more vibrant colors, and exhibit a pointed gonopodium, which is a modified fin used for reproduction. In contrast, female sunburst platys are generally larger, rounder, and have a more rounded body shape, along with a visible gravid spot near their abdomen when they are pregnant. Observing these physical differences can help distinguish between the sexes.
