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!

ohmy.gif yup, i have females and males togther.
my adult female, looks so fat i think she might have fry,
and 1 of the smaller fish has a big belly aswell.

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. tongue.gif

What about diffent colors when mateing can something
bad happen at all, i have this bright orange male,and my
females are black and blue..... could this make a wierd fish?
and the male always fallows the female, it must be anoying for her.

i think its a couple of months, as soon as they start getting colours they can breed i think.

They have almost all there colors.Some of them have more colors then
others,i guess this could be the females....
