Platy Sex change?

Can they change sex . . .ie: if there are only females in a tank, will one turn male? I have heard of some species doing this but i think it was frogs
Answers:
not usually in platies.
While yes it can happen like in SW wrasse species, i believe it only happens in one species of FW.
Swordtails... older females who can no longer have the hormones to breed, will turn into a "male" without the sword. they will develop a gonopduim and breed with females.
Thats the only freswwater fish that i know of, prehaps a few species of african cichlids.
impossible, it was a lie, you cant change sex without surgery %26 a doctor wont do surgery on a fish
