Your Mickey Mouse Platy fishes Mickey Mouse face on its tail went away What does that mean. Is it pregnant or sick?
If the Mickey Mouse face on your Platy fish's tail has disappeared, it could indicate a few possibilities. One common reason is stress or illness, which may affect the fish's coloration and patterns.

Observing other signs of health and behavior can help determine if your fish is sick or simply experiencing stress.

How do you tell the sex of sunset Mickey Mouse platy?
A female platy will be more rounded than a male platy, provided the fish you are sexing are a little mature, the older the fish the eaiser it is to sex the fish. The main way of sexing livebreeders is a little more reliable. Look at the bottom of the fish, just behind the pectoral fins and a little bit behind the anal opening. The anal fin in the female fans out in a triangle shape pointing downwards when she is relaxed. The male's anal fin is modified into a penis-like organ (gonopodium) which points backwards and does not fan out when he hovers in the water. This method works for all livebreeders (platy, guppy, molly, swordtail) and not just any particular colour (though sunset mickey mouse sounds very pretty! My male is a sunset helmethead with black sides.) The male sexual organs are some of the last things to develop and so juvenile females suddenly switching to male is quite common.
