Guppies

how long does it take guppies to become adults

Hello,
I'm talking out of personal observation, not scientific facts.
With my Guppy fry, I can tell Males from females at the age of 2.5 months or older.
But in my tanks, they don't usually breed until they're about 4-5 months old. Males start chasing females sooner than the females are able of carrying fry.
However, I once read in a book that some Guppy females can get pregnant at the age of 2.5 months. Don't know about that.

Hope that helps,

Noura

They can be sexually mature quite early, from 3 weeks to 3 months maybe. As for growth,at 3-4 months they are well coloured but they can keep growing for quite a while, 6-8 months until they reach full fin and body lenght. It depends.
