Guppy Fry

When I cleaned out one of my guppy tanks a few weeks ago I syphoned this tiny fry right into my dirty water bucket, apparently it's the only one from this new mommy guppy I have. Perhaps just a lucky fry, between the other fish that could've gobbled it up, the two filters that could've sucked it up...it managed to beat the odds. I'd make a guess that this will perhaps grow to be a female, anyone else want to take a guess?

Well the number of how many fry a guppy will produce and how many will live depend on your aquarium setup. Not to mention the fact that a pregnant guppy can keep having fry without even having to mate again. So, if you have a proper healthy fry setup I would say you'll end up with a lot more than you bargained for and goodluck :)
