	Guppy Birth To Full Colouring
Brengun Big Fish Posts: 355 Kudos: 187 Votes: 110 Registered: 22-Jun-2007	I was wondering how long it takes a male guppy from birth to mature with his full colouring? I have a guppy who I thought was all growed up and he is pretty enough but recently a whole lot more colour seems to be happening. /:'

Again this will vary on your conditions and the feeding program. Finally the main point is the breeding, if there is no colouration in the breeding to start off with it will never happen, they will colour up but never to that special colouration you are looking for. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
