My first few fish were guppys 4 females and a male.
I have rehomed all the fry apart from this little fella I just love his colours.


Had to separate the males and females breeding faster than I can rehome.

Pretty little guy...won't be long until he's able to impregnate the female, so keep that in mind...also, she can store sperm packets for months, so more fry could be forthcoming, regardless

Yeah guppies are prolific breeders! Nice male!

 

[Vass_sCo]

Yeah definitely the case they breed like crazy.

Just can't bring myself into giving my first fish away crazy I know but attached to them

Males in community tank and the 4 females in there own tank.

in the picture is a fully developed male and capable of impregnating the female/ females and probably has done

Agreed, after looking at the pic more closely, the female looks preggers already....

I also couldn’t bring myself to give away my first fish. I gave away the rest of her siblings but she was in my first batch of fry so I kept her bc she was my favorites somehow.

Had to move the males back into the tank at that point as I had around 50 fry and fry tank was cycling at the Time.

Survival rate of guppy fry is really high in the planted tank with stratum much more than I though it would be.

The survival rate for guppy fry is usually high Guppies are the most popular tropical fish a great beginners fish also for experienced fishkeepers, its the easiest fish to keep and breed average age between 2 and 3 years when kept between 70f and 74 f, if kept in the high 70s it can often shorten their lifespan
