How long does it take a baby guppy to mature to adulthood?

By adulthood do you mean when it can start having babies or when it reaches its maximum length?

They can start having babies at an age of about four months I've read, but it takes a couple years for them to reach their maximum size (about 2.5" for females).



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Tank size and feeding habbits can play a pretty big roll too!

My guppys really have grown in my 40 gallon tank. I feed them very small portions quite a few times a day. Their tails have also really filled out since I brought them home too.

Depending on your tank, the feeding program, if a FM how soon she starts and continious breeding (chased by too many males)
It could also depend on the breeding on the fish weather it is quality breed or just breed for the cheep fish trade.
