I have six approximately four-month-old guppy fry, which have just begun to show their colors. I've heard they become sexually active at six weeks, but is that too young?

My juvie Guppy males actually start chasing and displaying at about 6 weeks. You won't start seeing fry from the females until somewhere around 3 months, if you keep the sexes together. Some lines develop more quickly than others, some are slower. Most pro breeders don't set up their breeder fish until about 4 months of age. This allows both sexes ample time to grow out so the best can be used. As I said before, some lines have to be bred at an early age or it becomes more difficult to impregnate the females. 3/4 Blacks are notorious for that. Hopes this helps.
