Guppy Fry Questions

[BethK]

My guppy fry are ranging from 2-3 weeks, give or take a few days and I now only have about 12 left.

They are eating well, having issues with water changes, seem to spend more time netting them out of the bucket, than anything else

I am fairly sure 2 are male but could be totally wrong on that one. How old is a guppy fry, when you can start telling their sex? Another quick question, what's the youngest age that a female guppy can conceive?

I would take pics but they are not showing well on camera, most of them look an opel white coloration, bar 3 which look dark grey.

I think.....if I remember rightly from when I had guppy fry, they`re usually about 6 months old when they become sexually mature enough to breed. At approx 3-3.5 months I could tell whether male or female.

so around 3 months, that's when thye need to be seperated?

Thank you x

I`d seperate them then yes, just keep an eye on them and you`ll be able to see which are which........unless you really want the patter of tiny fins
