my guppies have started breeding and they have only produced females is it possible for me to change the temperature or some other factor to get more males

Generally the higher the pH and temperature, the more males you'll get. When mine have bred, all the fry look like females; it's only when males are a couple of months old that their fins start to change and actually look like males'. So the ones you have now could all be males.

Remember that if you want to keep and grow the babies, that you need at least 2-3 females to every male, unless you have a male-only tank.

Good luck with them!

1 male to 2 females with 12 fry

o and ya i think they might change into males later but ill just have to wait and see

Once the fry reach maturity, you'll need to take those into account too, though. If all of them turn out to be males, you'd have 13 males to 2 females.

Have you moved the fry into a seperate breeding tank, or given them lots of hiding places (plants, ornaments, etc)? You might find that some will be eaten otherwise.

How old are your fry? It will be 6-8 weeks probably before the males show up.

They drop fry about every 25-28 days, they add up fast.
