Baby guppy doesnt have its colors2007-11-24 23:10:09

i have 8 baby guppy, i had them for 2 months now and only one of them shows color.{on the tail} the other baby are just white, i keep them in a glass vase and feed them grinded goldfish food. there are no plants and no filter i change the water once or twice a week. the guppy are all healthy and are behaving normally why dont they have there colors yet

Answers:

Maybe they are too young still. Or perhaps they are females, dont they have very minimal colors?

Late bloomers.

They could just be white or albino guppies that is one type of guppy that exists

I think it's most likely gonna take more time, because you raise them in a vase and not in a filtered and heated tanks as recommended

You may also stunt their growth, if you don't get them outta there soon

Hope that helps

Good luck

White? Mine are mostly clear. They should develop their colors pretty soon, though, if they're going to. What did the mother look like?

you need to wait a bit longer... most guppies start showing more colours at around 3 months

it really depends on which kinds of guppies you have. for exmaple, i noticed that my fry tends to be females rather then males. as a result, the fish you have might be females. they would have less colors or none at all. also, they might be of different age. sometimes, it'll take longer.
