What Ratio Of Male And Female Guppies

[times9]

looking to add 8 guppies to my tank what is a good ratio of male to female to add?

I would say either all males (unless you have room for the abundant fry) or no more than 2 males and 5 females. I have one male in my guppy tank and regularly remove other males that grow up into other tanks. I also feed some fry to other tanks to keep the numbers down.

I'd vote for 8 males, 0 females
Seriously, keeping livebearers who produce fry seems like a good idea at the time, but unless you definately have somewhere to offload those fry when they grow up, it never really works out.
