Here's a breakdown of the timeline:
* Gestation period: 28-30 days
* Fry (baby guppies) are born: Live birth
* Fry are able to breed: Around 3-4 months old
* Recommended breeding age: 6-8 months old
Keep in mind that these are just estimates and the actual breeding timeline can vary depending on factors like:
* Water conditions: Optimal water parameters are crucial for healthy breeding.
* Diet: A nutritious diet will support healthy growth and reproduction.
* Genetics: Some guppies may mature faster than others.
* Stress levels: Stress can delay or prevent breeding.
It's always best to observe your guppies and allow them to breed at their own pace, ensuring they are in a healthy and supportive environment.
