    How many would you like i have 70 little little little ones left... They still need 1-2 months growth before selling them...

    I would most probably have a few moscow blues and a few mixed guppies as well...

    And i am selling them R5 one... negotiable with amount...

    @Luis Thank you... And i have no idea why that would happen... That is really strange... Maybe try and get a new male and see if that doesn't solve the problem...

    Maybe @azurekoi kan help with an answer to this riddle...

    We had this discussion a few months ago, and if I can recall, the temperature plays some sort of a role in the male to female ration of the Fry, so that may be the reason why only the females make it? I will try and get some links and maybe the original thread on TASA.

    Just add water and they multiply ;-). You looking to use them as live food or what is the story?
