Congratulations!! I have never seen that with guppies. Normally I would mis that part, was either at school or outside. I would have liked to see that happen. Do you keep all the guppies? Or put them in different aquarium´s? What do you do with them? Take care.

Well in the wild they probably have lots of plants and rocks to hide under that would be my guess

They stay seperate because the mother will eat them i was up till 5 am waiting for her to finish lol, I have a large aquarium that i transfer them to when they are large enough to not get eaten lol, working on getting the pic taken.

Guppies are a live bearing fish that can give birth to several broods after just having been mated one time with one male guppy. This is why you need to separate the boys from the girls, so that you can make sure who mates with which fish in the aquarium.

that is correct, that is why i keep my flourescent baby blue ones in a different tank to breed so they dont get crossbreeded with another color
