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

what kind of guppies do you have : fancy or feeder? i kno feeder females don't have color at all. i can only tell by the gravid spot.

Trust me, they are just a little late. It took my guppies about a month and half till they had some color.

Reaons that they might be still white:

1) Are females... females are less colorful than male guppies. Female guppies' tales are also less longer. So if your baby guppies don't have very long tales that are proportional to their body, they might be females.

2) Are feeder guppies. These are also called wild guppies. It means that these guppies are meant for feeding other fish, and aren't very attractive... so they don't have much color.

3) Late bloomers.

You should also seperate your guppies into different tanks or purchase a larger tank. For about 8 guppies... you might need a 10 gallon tank for now. Keeping the guppies in such a small tank, will cause them to stop growing. If you'd like to make your tank more decorative, I suggest buying a plant. You can get them at the store for less than $5. I suggest a banana plant. Thesegrow very long, and look great in a large/long tank.
