Basolo had the idea that female southern platy fish have a preference for sexual displays even in species which do not have tails designed for sexual displays. The experiment will have six pairs of males surgically given plastic sword tails but one of each of the 6 pairs were given a bright yellow tail and the other with a transparent tail.
