Identify a female paradise fish.

Question by maggie3 Reward: 100 Pond Points + 10 Knowledge Tokens Status: Pending a resolution
I have successfully raised a family of Paradise fish. However, from what I can tell they are all male. Is there a sure fire way to tell if there is a female? I have noticed paler colored fish but their tails are long and flowing...any suggestions.

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. However, yes I know the males are pretty but they are very large and some of the other fish are smaller and look paler but have tried to mat them but they turned out to be males! I think I have a tank full of males, darn!
