Guppy fry

[JAYJT]

Hi peeps,

Does anyone have any info about when guppy fry should develop colour? I think ive read around the 4 week period....Is this right??

Thanks for any info

Well, I have a batch that are 4 weeks old, not much color yet, though some had black tails after about a week. Also hard to tell which are males/females. The biggest one is about 1/2 inch long now. Fun to watch them grow.

my gup's are getting their colour now, gorgeous red tails, but they only have a bit of red on at the moment! My other one's are grey and they have had their colour for ages, it varies alot, jut have to be patient!

I've learned that all my gupps get color in sequence-
1. Black
2. Yellow
3. Orange/Red

Of course I only have a few colors, so blue gupps I guess would get blue in #3.
All this depends on what you are feeding them too, if you're feeding live brine shrimp every day or just flake!!! (BTW, feeding live brine shrimp every day... not such a good idea. great every week, but not every day!!!)
But hey, they'll come into their colors yet. KEYWORD: PATIENCE!!!
good luck with the fish!
