How do I seperate...?

Question

How do I seperate the males from the females in a guppy fry litter?
And at about what time am I supposed to do this?

Answer 1

Fry can be sexed at one week of age, however, this is hardly necessary. When the males' anal fin becomes pointed, it is definitely time to remove the females (this may occur at 3 to 6 weeks of age). Use a small glass and either catch the fry in it or coax them into it with a net. Examine each closely for either a gravid spot or a developing gonopodium.

Answer 2

after about 2 weeks a dot forms in the female guppy fry. the dot is their babys. use a tank divider to seperate fish, ask for one at the petstore.

Answer 3

As soon as you can see the gonopodium on the males they can be separated. It takes a little bit but just keep looking!
