moscow's you can sex from 2-3 weeks by the colour, but most other will develop colour from 4-6 weeks and devlop a gonopodium from 6-8 weeks of age

oh okay thanks a lot. Is it safe to put guppies back in the communty tank at 2-3 weeks?

 

[afishdude]

if they wont fit in the largest fishes mouth then they will be ok.

 

[helterskelter]

it all depends on the othe fish, if your worries thay will fit in the mouth of another fish then no as all fish love to eat baby fish.
