when will i know when they're ready to become pregnant or mate? can 2 siblings mate and produce fry? or even mate with their parents?


another question.2 of my f.guppies had their gravid spot for ages(2months).. their tummy won't get any larger.. something wrong? are they stressed? cause i have a powerhead in their tank (5gal, both of them and a male gup)

Siblings can mate and so can parent and offspring. The only way to avoid this really is to split up the sexes as they approach adulthood (when the male gonopodia start showing, females may show their gravid spots before sexual maturity).

when will the gonopodium for the male become visible right after birth?

hi,
it can take a while for a male to develop, i have 25 guppys that are 2 months old ,3 males got there gonopodium after they were 7 weeks, there are more that are late to develop, i can tell because they have no gravid spot and the annal fin is looking more pointed every day.
