Congratulations!
BUT:
Just you wait. You have not yet seen what a guppy is capable of giving you!!!!! Mature females will drop 60+ babies every 30 days or so. And she can do it for a few months in a row, even without a male in attendance!!!! Within about 2 months those inmature females will give you 10-20 each month, and only give more as time goes on.
Whew. Guppies. They surely are pretty, but....WOW population explosion!

Maybe if you get more, you can sell them on aquabid.com becuase that is like ebay, but it live fish, snails, and plants.
Thanks!

Congrats on the fry, I have about 22 guppies in all. Im kinda tired
of them lol, Theres only about maybe 4 females to 7 males so I have to
give the males away. I started with 1 guppy and look what i have now? lol.
Good luck,
Alex

congratulations! i have raised a few generations of guppies. they're so cute. i used to watch the tank all the time trying to save every fry i could, but after a while it became impossible. nowadays i save them when i see them.
good luck with the fry!
