Blue Moscow Guppy Breeding

I bought 8 Blue Moscow Guppies on Saturday I didn’t photograph them until today because I wanted their real color to show. I’m sure they’ll continue to color up with healthy feeding and good water parameters. I bought 5 females and 3 males. I plan on letting them breed for a while then separating them and breeding for color. I don’t plan on breeding them a lot I don’t want to inbreed so much that they begin to come of deformed. Just a couple times then switching them out. Here are pictures of the males they all look pretty similar.

 

Update I was looking at my tank and I guess someone already had a baby I just saw 1 little guy swim out of the clump of Java moss I have!! I’m so excited this is my first ever baby fish!

I found a couple more I think one of my females are pregnant and when I was moving my platys out I think she got a little stressed and a couple came out. Do guppies need to be separated from their parents. The fry are small enough to be eaten in one bite by the females

Guppies will eat their young, but I think it's more common to heavily plant a tank and let it go. If you're breeding for profit/production, you can speparate them

Which one do you think is the one currently pregnant ?

 

I'm not a big guppy person, so I'm not really sure, but I think if towards the back of the belly towards the clear/see through ish end, you see more of a black mass that those can be the fry and their eyes.

Are you taking about a gravid spot ?
