No female guppies in the store......where to get?

Hello

We are starting to populate our 20-gallon freshwater guppy tank. There are several colorful male guppies in the LFS. But I asked them, "Do you have females?" They said they don't get females because they're not colorful, and no one would get them. All LFS's here don't have females. I REALLY wanna breed my guppies..........I saw a tank of black mollies with baby fry swimming around the gravel........I want my guppies to have that too! We can't order from the internet 'cause shipping is expensive. I know this is very silly, but is there any chance that I can find any females? Is there such thing as a guppy hatchery? Are there guppies that naturally live here in the Philippines? Can they be found in some sort of lake, river, stream?

Thanks in advance!

Its not silly at all. I would first ask the store if they could order just a few females for you. The store may say females have little color, but that is only for the low quality or wild ones. I am unfamiliar with how things work in the Philippines, sorry.

I would hope that the LFS would be able to order the female guppies for you. You'll want 2 or 3 for each male to keep the females from being overstressed by the amorous males.
