Guppies

[Unknown10101]

I have about 10 or so guppies:
-1 male
-1 female
-9/10 immature guppies

Is this ok? I think that the 9/10 guppies are immature, but I'm not sure. Sometimes, I see gravid spots, but that was before I put the male in there. Also, none of them have colors, but I was wondering, is it possibles for guppies to get a gonopedium before they get their colors?
If it's not ok, all I have to put the male guppy in is a breeding chamber, a 1 gallon tank, and a 2.5 gallon tank. Plus, if I do that, it will be alone. Oh yeah, and if it's possible I REALLY don't want pregnatn guppies, yet I don't want to give the male away. Ok, well that kind of set my options on the 2.5 or 1 gallon tank. I know, these conditions aren't really ideal, but are they enough?

Black is the fish colour to develop, then the others slowly come over the following 3-4 week (4-8 weeks old).
The gonopodium usually starts developing from 6 weeks of age, so it's right in the middle of the colours.

Just look at the anal fin, if it look's slightly thinker at the top, this is a male.

I keep males in a seperate tank, and unly use the best male to breed back, but then I'm working with show guppies and have 10 tanks to utilise.

Get the largest tank possible, small tanks will suffer from water quality much faster then larger one's

Ok. Will the male harass the female if I keep him in there for now?

A male guppy will display almost constantly and will attempt to mate at any chance. Unless your female is showing distress, she will be fine.
