i have 5 fry that are about 3 weeks old when will they start getting color? Also all 5 look like females could that be or do they all look like that till a certain age (im making my asumption on the shape of there tales )
 
:) Guppy fry usually start to show their color when they're around a month old. The males will start to develop when they're a couple months old, but sometimes it takes a bit longer. Hope this helps! :D

What do their parents look like?
 
I generally notice black markings within the first week then yellow markings in the second and other colours come in at around a month old. I can usually see gravid spots in my female fry at 2 weeks old. The males are also usually much narrower than the females and usually paler in their body which is how I also differentiate between them.

Hope this helps :)
