A couple o weeks ago, my sisters female guppy gave birth to about 21-25 young, and now we've found out that there are at least 3 different types. 2 different males have mated with her: Flame[a Fancy guppy], Qingque[A Lyertail guppy] and a normal south american female guppy.My Fancy guppy died a while ago and I know that the female after being bred with can keep left over sperm in her overy walls for after the first fry are born.My sister Beth insisted naming them.

Is that normal?

yes this is normal.

Guppies can hold up to 4 x sperm for emergencies well just incase they dont find a man in this time.
 
Do you have room for more females? Because you really should have 2-3 females per male, otherwise the female will get very stressed out, since males are mating machines. :X
