No,they typically don't change gender. However,their gonopodiums (little fishy peenie!) don't really appear any different from female anatomy until a couple of months of age. Flick,a male guppy I bred accidentally,turned out to be a male just recently... and this whole time I've been thinking he was a she.

Basically all baby guppies will look like females until they grow up a bit. You should be able to tell them apart before too long.

You really cant tell if it is going to be male or female until it is a couple of months old

If you have fancy guppies. The male will have a pettier tail then the female as they get older too.
