Jackson Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) My guppy had babies and I didn't know it until I saw two swimming near my water sprite . Only two survived as I had no idea they were there . Does anyone know if a red blue double sword guppy fry will have the tail of a male when very young . Right now they look just like the female . My male I think got sucked up into my filter two days after I got him (have a pre filter now), but the female must have been holding from the delivery store ,I think . Really want a male to replace the one I got , but they look like mom . Edited March 2, 2023 by GCH spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darax Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Guppy fry are like little mystery boxes. It takes a month or two for the colors to start showing. Once pregnant always pregnant with guppy ladies, so there might be some surprising genes, and you're going to have more guppies that you expect... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like to say they aren't born but port in from another dimension out of nowhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Guppy fry can take 2 to 4 months to develop enough to be sure whether they are male or female. And 6 months or longer to fully develop their full colors and fin length. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
