Only Female Guppy Babies

[Guppiesgalore]

Hi all,

I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but I seem to only have the occasional male guppy baby survive to adulthood. Almost all babies who survive to adulthood are female.

Would there be a reason for this, or simply pure luck?

Apart from guppies, the only other things in the tank are apple snails & scissortail rasboras.

I find that often times more females are born than males. Sometimes males are late bloomers and surprise you so watch for that too.

Arent they usually determined by the temperature of the tank?

i have noticed  that my breeding guppies have only a few males if any

I dont think its by temperature, even in cold waters that is still what has happened.
