How long before guppies can be sexed? My babies are about 1 month old and they all look like females. How can this be? I have about 8 babies and they all appear to be females because I see no colors on any of them and they don't appear to have any finnage to them. The father is very colorful and all the females have beautiful big tails with black pokadots.
Maybe the males all became lunch because they are in a well planted tank allowed to survive naturaly by the thick cover. When they first were born I found the baby school to be around 8 and doesn't appear to have lost any but where are all the males. Maybe I need to wait a bit for the colors to develop.
If they are all females I will have about 12 females and 1 male. (Lucky guy) Unfortunately the male is not even the father. I just got him because I lost the male right when the babies were born. I did something kind of stupid, I put them in a tank with a betta. I didn't know that the betta and male guppy would fight. I have never had problems in the past with betta aggression with other species. After being together for about 2 weeks I found a beat up betta and guppy one morning. I seperated them both to give them a chance to heal. Both died. Betta 1 - Guppy 1 RIP
