I'm told they can usually breed by the age of 3 months! You shouldn't have to wait too much longer as long as you have males and females together!

Yep, my baby guppies had gravid spots within a couple of months. I have a variety of ages of babies now, and I have now idea who the mama is to who! I only have one male that I know of, as ALL the new babies appear to be female from the looks of their coloring and the development of the gravid spot. So he is a busy boy, I guess.
