  3. Guppies will become sexually active somewhere around 4 weeks of age.  This is why you want to s*x and seperate the fry as soon as you can tell them apart.  If female guppies give birth that young they tend to remain small and gain less body size  as the food they eat goes towards growing fry instead of growing their own body mass.  Also, they will have smaller drops of fry and the fry they give birth to will be very tiny.  It's much better to wait until a female is 3-4 months old and has put on some good body weight before breeding her.  Then she will have larger drops of bigger fry.  But if you let the fry stay all together in a fry tank for more than a month - watch out!  Before you know it, your baby guppies will be having tiny babies of their own!  Those male guppies start early and they have only one thing on their mind!   ;P

  4. Mine gave birth at 9 wks old...it was a shocker. I would separate the sexes at about a month if you can.
