Guppy Colors

[ryanstar87]

I have fry about 3 weeks old four are like pinkish colored and one is a strange gray/black color. Is this their natural colors forming or something to do with their sex?

Their are several base colours to guppies, this is the normal background colour of the fish and the other colours develop over the top of this.

The pink ones are blonds and the other will be then normal gray fish.

Welcome to the forum Ryanstar.
What kind of fry are you dealing with? In mollies, the base color of fry is quite evident even at birth. In guppies and some other livebearers the base color of the fish comes along later in the process.

I'm presuming their guppies by the way.

but it's much the same for most of the livebearers, it's nothing about sexing them though.
