Guppy Fry Color

GetItSahn · Mar 4, 2014

I have recently had another batch of guppies and for the second time I have noticed that my fry have almost all black tails and they were born only 3 days ago. Is this normal? Do the colors indicate anything?

It could just be part of coloration. What are the mothers colors and the male colors in the tank.

It's fine, some fish are actually born with coloration already, I have some completely colourless however some have got all different colours, just the fun off having fry and watching them develop I guess

I have noticed a few of my fry (maybe 3 or 4) have no color at all, I guess it's just roll of the dice
