My two guppies have had about 5 batches of babies over the last two months and from the first 4 batches from what I can tell it looks like its all female babies (the last batch is too tiny to tell yet). Is this even possible to have all babies be female?

I am looking at their fins and for any of the ones that are at least 4 weeks old, it's pretty easy to tell which ones are female ... well, they all are. No male fins, all female.

I have about 60 female fry. It has to do with your water temperature. One of my guppies in a tank of females has been pregnant 6 times from just one impregnation, and every fish she has given birth to has a gravid spot by week one, so they are all female, so it may have to do somewhat with the father of your fry as well. Don't worry about it, you are sure to have some male.
Good luck...Gup.

Many species of aquarium fish will consume different fish in the event that they could get them into their mouth. additionally they seem to be a lot extra possibly to try this in the event that they don't seem to be nicely fed or there are few hiding places for the smaller fish. lifelike length guppies could be secure with male or woman Betta Splendens (siamese fighter).

It's possible but not likely. It takes ages for some of the fry to get their colour anyway. They all look female to begin with just looking at the colours

yes, but it's very rare. if your female guppy just had babies and you think they are all female, they probaly look all female, but they aren't. you just need to give the babies some time to show their colors and grow. do some research on this before you proclaim your guppy the mother of all girls. here is a wabsite that i found helpful when my guppy gave birth: http://guppyplace.tripod.com/Breeding.html

It's possible that your fish aren't showing their sexual dimorphism (body differences) yet. It is also possible that some environmental conditions are causing unusual sex ratios in the fry. Most notably extremes of temperature can cause skewed sex ratios.
