Its possible for Guppies to have babies every 6 weeks, Keep an eye on them, they can be a handfull!

[kerryve]

Yip, thats the reality, If you have females and a male together, they are pregnant, dont even doubt the fact!

They can also retain sperm and keep getting pregnant for six months with no male present.

 

[boff]

Our LFS will buy them from us. The larger we let them get, the more they pay us for them. Not lots of money, of course, but at least a few bucks in store credit. Last time we got $5 for about a dozen molly fry.

Boxer how big where they?

 

[Boxermom]

Not very, between a couple of weeks old to maybe a half inch.

 

[leafgirl115]

realy wow! my stuped LFS wont give you $$$ and i have 113 fry!

Yeah, we're lucky to have a really good LFS. Its almost an hour drive each way for us but its definitely worth it. I'm usually out there almost every weekend, sometimes twice. They don't give money, just store credit, but it turns out the same anyway since I'm always out there buying something or other.
