Is this good for breeding guppies

[Slow-dagger]

Ive recently seen bubbles near the bamboo and sides of the tank and my guppies r always close to each other and I forgot if one of them its a female

Guppies are live bearers. They don't lay eggs. Is that what you were wondering??

Then how r they born

 

[vanimal]

They develop in the mother's stomach. As they are developing she will get a black spot and her belly and it will get big. It's pretty easy to tell if a guppy is pregnant. She will give birth and vary small guppy fry are born, they are usually kinda hard to see. But if not separated from the other guppies they will most likely be eaten.

Which is female

I can't see the one on the left but the one on the right doesn't look pregnant so far.

Think that one on the right is the male because he has a top white fin and the other one doesn't and the one on the left is smaller

Both are boys.

Those are both boys.

How they don't look nothing alike

Well more pics would help but it looks like they both have a gonopodium ( aka boy parts).

Even related fish often have variable color and finnage traits. You sex livebearers by looking at their underside.

K but y do I see bubble nest looking things around the bamboo and sides of tank

It's areas where the bubbles collect because there isn't much flow getting to that area. I have 20 young guppies, lots of males, a few females, a few unsexable, that are from very closely related parents and none look alike
