It was a rough pregnancy. The father died mysteriously, though i suspect parasites, cause i had to treat my tank a few months back. And the mother got fin rot during her pregnancy in her late stages. So she is still healing. It took out 3/4 of her tail.Mikedick77 said:Got pics of the parents? Good lookin female!
Those are stunning!Sleepyflea said:Green, and blue with a hint of purple??
Thank you! I hope more of them get that color. Other ones have orange i think. We might have alot of different colors, but we will seeKribensis27 said:Those are stunning!
This is why I love live bearers. You never know what colors you’ll get, and you can get entirely different ones in the same batch of babies.Sleepyflea said:Thank you! I hope more of them get that color. Other ones have orange i think. We might have alot of different colors, but we will see
I understand. Glad you were able to recover the mother with the tail that far gone. That's a win in itself!Sleepyflea said:It was a rough pregnancy.

It may be a bit before i can post pictures of the parents.
How old are they? I can never tell if they’re males or females until a few weeks after birth.Sleepyflea said:So one of my guppies had more kids. All 10 were females again.
Maybe my water is doing it, ive heard you cant get males in certain water parameters.
You can tell quite early.Kribensis27 said:How old are they? I can never tell if they’re males or females until a few weeks after birth.
They all look the same at birth. That fin is what changes into a gonopodium as the males grow outSleepyflea said:You can tell quite early.
The females have the fin under their bum that is normally present/seeable within days after birth.
I assume that means they are all female from my understanding. Males grow their "stuff" a bit later into the growing cycle, but if it was a male they wouldnt have a single fun under the bum right? They would have 2 fins and nothing for mating yet until they are a bit bigger. This is at least my understanding of the subject.
