Just a month ago my guppy gave birth.
Until now I can't identify the fry is it male or female?
It seems that all looks like female.. or is it too soon to identify them?
Normally what's the ratio of guppy fry male to female?
I was expecting to see male guppy fry ...

How are you taking care of the fry? Plenty of food rations per day and frequent water changes allows faster growth rate. They should be sexually mature in a matter of time, more often 3 months.

I do not understand however why you ask what is the sex ratio of male and female fry.:confused: There's no telling how many males or females you exactly get in each batch.

Be patient with them. Everything depends on how you take care of them.
 
Water changes 10% once a week, feed 1-3 times daily.
So far they look healthy, I just love male guppy.
 
Just wondering (hope this isn't a very stupid question), but how does frequent water changes increase the growth rate? Obviously, everything thrives in the best water quality, but do more frequent water changes stimulate growth in some way other than just having good water quality at all times?
 
It stimulates because the water is clen. Fry means lots of growth, means lots of food, lots of water changes.
 
I know in mollies tempurature plays a role in the sex of the fry, like more males at lower temps.
 
I have some guppy fry, took over 2 months aftewr they were 1/3 of a cm before my (so far) 1 male/6 guppys got colours on himself (other than his tail)

he now chases his sisters trying to mate with them (gags)
