Guppy genetics are actually quite complex and most will not just be a mix of both parents. As color tends to follow the mother more than the father, the majority will be black bodied guppies. Some will have some yellow on thier fins, but most likely you will see that yellow turn to green or orange in the next month. Green is one of the base colors in black and is also linked to yellow so that is where the little bit of green comes from. Now, this is just generally speaking and you may not hav any with green or orange but the law of averages says you should have at least one of each. Now again, that one might have died or been eaten as a baby.

Forgive me. I'm really not meaning to sound like a smart-assleck, but, honestly, they'll turn out some combination of yellow, orange and black. This is kind of like asking what the puppies of a brown and white spotted dog and a black dog will turn out to look like. It's anyone's guess. It sounds like your mom is one species of guppy and your dad another, so they'll be a mix. Just like mix breed puppies. Here is a link to some different guppies so you can, at least, identify your mom and dad guppies. They'll still be cute babies though, right?!

in my opinion, in case you do not want any of them to experience disregarded have them draw straws or another random way. From the variety you describe, your mom has the least "guilt" of the three. i've got on no account seen a mom walk the bride down the aisle, however...
