for your fry, how old are they? if they are around 3 weeks - 1 month then it's consider quite okay. one or two only or all of them? (1 whole batch of fry).
how big is your tank? what are the condition? just a bare tank only for fry or? what is your feeding pattern and what do you feed? there's technic how you can get them grow really fast. usually around 2.5months should be a full adult ad, 3.5 months should be a show guppy type already.

3months+ still about 1 - 1.5cm long only doh.gif
is the same batch fry about 1X fry in 3 liter container
feeding them twice a day with this

depending on the size of the mother, some can give birth over 100+ fry, virgin mom usually 10-20 for the first time and the number will increase subsequently. adult fish will eat all the fry, so please separate the mother to a labour room and separate the fry. this way, the guppy can be protected and grow faster.

and for some reason my guppy (1m & 2f) about a months+ now
and non of the female show any sign of pregnancy

hmm, the food you feed should be okay... though i never use it myself. 3 litre container a bit too small la, get at lease those 13 bucks plastic aquarium size to keep them, how often did you change water?
how old are they? is the male chasing tail? some male may not chase at all....
*
weekly wc coz no filter
what do u feed ur fry/guppy?

hmm idk, get those from lfs i think atleast 6month +-
when u mention it, yeah first 2 week the male like to "fvck" the female but now i hardly see him do that

i consider weekly water change too long... i change at least every 2 days and i feed very heavily, so the fry will grow a lot faster.
I feed artemia brine shrimp mainly and decapsulated brine shrimp.

i can't comment for those lfs fishes, but generally we get adult fishes of 4 months or less.
it's hard to get pregnant if the male fish don't chase tail.

whr do u get artemia brine shrimp & decapsulated brine shrimp?

yeah lo, sienz liao thier no get pregnant doh.gif
myb will add another pair in to it

all of my tanks are bare tank. You can either allow the mother to give birth in the tank, buy a breeding box. (for reference, look at picture)

user posted image

or

separate the mother out to a smaller tank, put in a breeding net, or something that can separate the mother and the fry will do. no picture at the moment.

really? some koi costs hundreds or even thousands when they are small. same goes to flowerhorn, those with potential ones ady cost 288, 388 or even more when they are small. we recently start breeding gold fish, just collected a pair of ranchu which costs us 1400 per pair. competition grade fish.
its you who doesnt buy good grade fishes la...  sweat.gif

planted 4ft  drool.gif

koi just grade B (around 1XX < 300) only for the pond to look good last time.
coz old house hv perigi thingy

as for flower horn was way back before the started become main hit among fish keeper. we got a batch of fry from my father friend that breed them.
dang they eat like piranha doh.gif

kaloi even more cheap rm10/pcs i think for size of a 2 finger end up grow almost 10" size die die also need to let go into a lake no room for him ady

some shop may try to sell u SAE (Siamese algae eater), but stick to otos if you have a choice.
SAE can become lazy and just share food with your guppies.

but i tot they need soil or gravel?
r they easy to take care?
btw will they get bigger?
