One would assume that the brighter, livelier and more "flashy" the male is the more likely he is to gain access to a mate.

Because their population grows and their thing grows ;)
Non-sexual natural selection, such as predation, influences the appearance of male guppies by favoring traits that enhance survival rather than attractiveness. In environments with high predator presence, males may develop more cryptic coloration or patterns that help them blend into their surroundings, reducing the likelihood of being spotted. Conversely, in predator-free environments, males can exhibit brighter colors and more elaborate patterns, as the risk of predation is lower and sexual selection can thrive. This dynamic illustrates how survival pressures shape physical traits in response to environmental conditions.
Guppies are pregnant for about 4 weeks. Factors that can affect the duration of their pregnancy include water temperature, food availability, and stress levels.

Having too much iron (Fe) and/or magnesium (Mg) in your water will be detrimental to any fish including Guppies (Lebistes reticulatus). Guppies do not like very hard water either.
Light will affect the temp. Keep it between 64-82 degrees
