A dark spot on a guppy's tail could indicate several things, including stress, injury, or a sign of a developing disease. It may also be a natural coloration variation or a marking related to breeding. If the dark spot appears suddenly or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as changes in behavior or health, it is advisable to monitor the fish closely and consider consulting an aquatic veterinarian or expert. Regular water quality checks and maintaining a stress-free environment can help prevent health issues.

Keep in mind because guppies breed fast, even after you separate the males and females, the females can carry the sperm and impregnant themselves for quite a few more pregnancies.
