A few days ago I bought three guppies that i thought were males and put them in my all male aquarium. I was watching one of my guppies today, and he is really fat. Is it possible that my male is a female? I know it usually easy to tell because of there beautiful tails, but he does have a bit shorter tail.... could he be a female? But none of the other males chase him, is he a he or a she?
 
Post a picture of a side view of it so we can identify it
 
If you want to know for sure, look at the anal fin. In females it is fan shaped and males have pointed ones. Also, only females will have a gravid spot. I have some males that I would think were females because of the coloring but I know theyre males because they don't have a gravid spot and the way their anal fins are shaped.
