Female guppies stay very plain to help with camouflage. Male guppies get color to attract females.

Baby guppies are very small. Most are around 1/8" long when born. They are nearly clear with a silver color in their bellies. Some color foms of guppies will have babies that exhibit a limited amount of color at the time they are born. Most commonly this is seen in red verieties.

Can a female guppy fight with a male guppy?

They won't fight, they will try to avoid the males sometimes because the males constantly follow the female. They will fight if they want to. Males don't constanly follow the females. I have seen my guppies fight, but they wont kill each other. My guppies never fallow each other unless if they want to mate. It takes a couple of seconds to mate then they stop following each other.

Can male guppies get female mollies pregnant?

Actually, Yes, they can. it is possible but very risky. It should never be tried the other way though; that is impregnating a female guppy with a male molly. the guppy/molly mix would be/have been referred to as gollies and they wouldn't be able to produce offspring, since they are essentially mules.
