2 month old fry

[sharkmom]

Can my 2 month old fry have babies?

 

[Viperchaos]

what kind of fry are they?

 

[sharkmom]

Sorry fancy guppies. I want to separate the males and females but only one has color the others don't have much if any some black on the tail

 

[Viperchaos]

in most cases 2 months is way too early especially in most cases where males dont grow as soon in size and sexual maturity.
So id be safe and say no.

 

[sharkmom]

Why do I have 1/2 size ones and super small a week old looking ones? And some look pregnant. How long til they get color.its only one batch of fry the mom died after having them.this is my first batch. Thank u

 

[Viperchaos]

okay all the ones that are really small and have no colour are males the males will catch up in a couple of months time dont worry about your girls theyre fine

 

[Viperchaos]

You also are doing the right thing because the girls get big enough to eat the boys, also what are you feeding them? x

I don't know about guppies, and excuse me if I'm off, but my molly fry all got pregnant around 6- 8 wks... A few males developed early and impregnated the whole batch... Other males developed later.
They started giving birth around 10-13 wks

oooooh, well shuckle me silly, always learn something on AA ive been breeding guppys for 5 years and had around 60 generations of fry
Never experienced guppys impregnating at 2 months but mollies ive never tried or known. All i can recommend is taking out the tiny ones although admitedly the females get their gravid spots at 1 1/2 months. The males gonopodium isnt formed. until 3 months

 

[sharkmom]

So should I just leave them together I g
Feed flake but got blood worms today I feed 3 xs ***'t thanks guys

mollies and guppies are both of the genus pocilia, so follow ocminpin's post for a good guide line.
my mollies also started "going after" each other at about 10weeks old.

I just figured they would get pregnant as soon as they got to the LFS anyway so why worry about separating sexes. (assuming the LFS has males of their own... OR new owners will have a male)

Here is some pictures of them

ditto... totally pointless...

 

[Viperchaos]

i didnt know you were selling them, theres no need to seperate then...

 

[sharkmom]

I am not selling them I just don't want a million of them but I think I will but them all in the big tank in a few weeks and let what ever happens to the babies happens if it get out of control then I will separate them

 

[Viperchaos]
