how long until baby guppies start showing color?

Posted by : admin

i have 11 baby guppies and they are in a 2 1/2 gal tank by themselves with a filter and a heater. they are a week old. i feed them crushed flakes and a little crushed color enhancing flakes and a little hard boild egg yoke for protein. help? any suggestions are welcomed.

First off all, the diet is good for their growth and their color, so they may get color a tad sooner. Usually I will start to see color at a month old, but they won’t have full color until 3 months. The color that you see at one month may change a little, so don’t get too excited or disappointed. JK Good luck.
