Okay, about two weeks before thanksgiving, my female guppie died, I had no idea why, until three days later, my roomate was looking at my fish tank and screamed 'You have baby fishies!!!!'
One of them lived, and I want to know if it's a female or male, because I don't want to put Junior in the big tank with Daddy if it's a female, and she'd die from child birth like her mom.
So are there any really distinguishing traits? I think that Junior is female, but I can't really tell.
Thanks so much for the help
