The top is female the bottom is male.

Answer 2

HI firstly you don't need to TRY to breed guppies lol they breed CONSTANTLY often becoming pests to people who don't want so many lol but it was great when i got my first aquarium to see little baby fish swimming around in my tank. The males are more colourful and have a specially adapted anal fin which is rather pointed (all live bearers have anal fins like that) whereas females are rather dull and have a triangular anal fin. Also you can tell if a female guppy is pregnant by looking near her anal fin and she should have a black dot inside of her. If you see that congratulations baby guppies are on the way lol

Answer 3

the male guppies tails are much bigger and have more color the females are more smaller and there tail just not as big you will figure it out in  time it's easy

Answer 4

The males have long flowing fins and pointed anal fins and lots of color the females have short fins and little color.
