    Got 9 guppy fries from an albino full red, they are now about 6 weeks old. Understand that I have to separate male from female as soon as i can to avoid any premature mating. however, at now 6 weeks old, i still unable to clearly see the gonopodium. the colour of the tail are showing now, but bodies are yet to show colour yet, which at one look, looks like all female to me. how soon will the colour of the body appear if it's a male?

    thank you.
