There is no set rule, one male and one female would do, but suggest 2 males and 6 females with the same traits. Most local fish stores will recommend 1 male with 2 or 3 females for any livebearers.

Guppies and Platys are live bearers and most reproduce by an elongated anal fin called a gonopodium that males use to deposit sperm to females. The female can then use the males sperm for nearly 3 months observed by some fish caretakers. She will bear the babies inside her until they are born swimming freely, but very small. If your female has been around any males, chances are she is pregnant.

Guppies are a community fish and are best kept in odd numbered groups with more females than males; for example, a group of 3 guppies with 2 females and 1 male. The reason for a higher female to male ratio is because males will fight with each other for matting rights to the females.
