Why do female guppies reproduce?
Guppies are the one of the easiest pet fish to breed in captivity. They do it all themselves, the only thing you may have to do is take the babies out and put them in a different container because the parents may eat them. I found that none of my guppies seem to eat the babies.

When do baby guppies get their colour?
It depends on the strain of guppy you have, I've seen some males begin to get their color after 4 or 5 weeks, others 2 - 3 months. Keep in mind, much depends on how fast they grow, if you are serious about raising guppies and want them to reach full size, sooner and be very healthy, you need to do a few things. Water temp should be around 80 degrees, weekly water changes, fry should be fed a little bit every few hours, BBB (baby brine shrimp) or microworms at least twice a day, powdered flake food other times.
This is a risk because any fish that can fit its mouth around another fish will try and eat that fish, so be careful. But for the most part, yes, Dalmatian mollies will get along with guppies.

They will hide but don't breath hard. You can tell if they are pregnant by looking at their little bellies and you will see a black spot just behind the stomachs. That means they are pregnant.
