So about a week ago I bought three pregnant female guppies, and I noticed two fry in the tank at the store. The asscoiate gave me the fry for free, yay, we'll got home floated all the fish and then set them lose. Well later on I notice two fry swimming free in the tank, I had put the two free fry in a breeder net. So they went in there with them. My question is at age to they start showing color? Three of the fry are a brownish grey, and the other is a yellowish pink. Is this normal?
 
All depends on the fish I've seen, I bought a pregnant guppy from the store and she popped that night. It took about 3 weeks before the males started to show some colour, maybe 5 weeks before things got really colourful. I'm still waiting to see what they turn into, I believe the males will be endler hybrids juding what the fish were in the tank when I bought her
 
My regular guppies starting getting black around 3ish weeks (some not all)... yellow would come in a week or so after (and sometimes later transform into another color), orange after that... blue seems to be the very last color to come in, as in maybe around 3-4 months.

But if you have dark females (such as black tuxedos or the likes) it is possible for them to get color earlier.
