Buy aquarium fish locally on Craigslist: • https://newyork.craigslist.org/search... • 00:00 Title • 00:05 This is a pair of 15 month old guppies • Breeding small strain of guppies • Usually, an adult female guppy is (underlined in red) larger and bulkier than a male guppy (underlined in blue). • The same couple of guppies at 7 months. • 00:27 Males usually sport brighter colors and have fancier shaped tails. • Here, you can see another male with two females. • All three fish are 6 months old. • 00:43 Notice that in this example, both females are about the same size or smaller than the male. • Look at these two (about 5 months old) guppies. • 01:01 One of them is a male with a fully developed underbelly (anal) fin, as only males have. • It is a tube with the scientific name gonopodium. • 01:15 The shape of the anal fin is the only reliable way to visually distinguish males from females. • 01:27 All newborn guppies look alike, resembling females. • Here is a dozen of 5 day old fry. • August 15th, 2017 • Here are three nursery aquariums with guppy babies. • Their birthday is indicated on top of each aquarium. • These are about 3 days old guppy fry. • All newborns look alike. • 02:01 The visible sex differences develop in following weeks and months. • Here are 5 weeks old guppies. • Some fish grow faster than others. • Notice the largest one looks like an adult female. • Here are 2 month old guppies of different sizes and all look like females. • 02:26 Male guppies mature sooner than females do. • This is a 6 week old guppy male. • His anal fin gets the male shape in the last week. • 02:38 Looking on a fish from the side is the easiest way to see the shape of the anal fin. • It looks like a stick for a male guppy. • 02:50 Females have a fan shaped anal fin. • Watch this male flex his anal fin. • 02:58 Often, it's easier to see the shape of the anal fin by looking at the shadow of the fish. • While generally, guppy males mature a couple month before females, occasionally Nature plays tricks, and some males mature later than females do! • Keep an eye on your fish’s anal fins! • Have fun and happy fish :) • Blog: http://rndmbits.blogspot.com/2017/10/... • More fun on my website www.fewdoit.com
