 Remember that fat fish?  Well, she suddenly slimmed down a day ago.  Last
night we were surprised to notice a little baby fish hiding in the corner.
Hmmm...  If killies lay eggs, and this fellow had no yolk sac, maybe they
aren't killies.  If that's true, they'de also be hardpressed to be live-
bearers because they would both be female since neither has a gonopodium.>>

There are several livebearers that do not have gonopodiums.  These include
many of the goodeides, such as Xenotoca eiseni, the red-tail goodeid.  I'd be
willing to bet that you have one of these fellows.
