Guppies Breeding Like Rabbits

[lister]

I have a serious breeding problem going on here...the fish i bought, only guppies x 8, have breed to Three Generations in a MONTH

Is there normal for these guppies to breed like once a week?

They are amazing!

about every 28 days

Females will drop fry ever 28-32 day's on average, and they then mature in 3-4 months.

guppies tend to multiply when they get wet

Lol, so do most other livebearers.

Common livebearers yes but you should try the rare livebeares!!!! I've breed over 100 species of livebeares and most are very difficualt

26-36 days i think.

I know but this is getting ridiculous. This breeding problem is getting out of control. Do you think they will start to mutate now? I mean, they are breeding cousins and uncles and aunts, that cant be healthy. I have noticed that one of the fish has a sort of crooked tail, i reckon thats in-breeding....

They are great though, i love them. Its amazing that i bought each guppy for £2.00 in the UK. What a great way to make money. The mark up on these fish is very impressive. Maybe thats how Fish Pet Stores make their money i suppose...
