You will notice that the male guppy has a long pointed anal fin. They use this to transfer sperm to the female guppy via the gonopore (hence the constant chasing). The dark spot on the female is called the gravid spot, it is the eyes of developing fry. Females have the ability to carry viable sperm for up to six months and the only chance a male has of continuing his DNA is to catch a female within a day of her giving birth.
