Omaria Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 My female guppy had about 16 babies a few months ago, and they are still fairly small. Are they able to breed? How do I know what is a male or a female and do I just keep them in the tank and they will automativally breed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 They usually reach maturity at around three months of age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omaria Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 :thup: thanks for your reply. How will I know if one is pregnant? I got 16 of them and no idea who is male or female, and I dont want to overstock the tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Easy - if it is female, it is probably pregnant! :slfg: Males have the modified anal fin (called a gonopodium). Like the fins on these mollies. Top fish is female, bottom is male... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
