try not to type like that, its very hard to read, and people minght ignore what you say.

ive never herd of temp affecting male and female babies. i dont see how that can be done.

I've read something about it, but I don't remember what, I think that cold might have meant more females. I don't remember it really, but I KNOW I've read something about it; however they might have been making WAGs (wild ass guesses)

 

[Silly me]

Molly's have more female fry if there is a lot of males in the tank?? maybe guppy's the same?
but I also heard that some sword females can turn into a male if there is none in the tank, and Im yet to see a female guppy turn into a male.

If your aquarium temperature is high the female guppy with breed more quicker because the eggs in her gravid spot grow faster, and if the temperature is low the production is slower. I never heard of pH levels effecting guppies too much, but with my guppies they seem to like hard water better than soft, not too hard though.
I don't know with the amount of male and female guppies, but in my 10gal tank (I have hard water and the temperature is high) I usually get much more males than females.
