Guppies Aging
By jmchris from the Jen department, Section Ask Guppylog Posted on Wed Aug 29, 2007 at 12:13:47 PM PST Tags: (all tags)

My son just recently got some guppies and 2 days later one of them had babies. We were wondering how long before guppy babies turn into guppy adults? If anyone knows, please do let us know. Many thanks.

Hey, I asked that question too! Well, it depends on the temperature. If it is at a high temperature (80*) then they will grow faster. But if it is at a lower temperature, they will grow slower (72*-76*).
It took about 3.5 months for a baby fry to sex out as squack15 stated. But ofcourse, that was the longest time it took a baby to do that. So it could be anywhere from 3.5 months, or less! Oh, and if you have a separate tank that the adults go into, here is some onfo on when to put the babies in with them:
You should put the fry (baby guppies)with the adults when they are about a centimetre long. You should also feed the adults well and have hiding places for the fry if you want most of them to live! ;)
Good Luck, keep me posted on the little babies!! :)
