I heard that when fry are small they are born with out a gender. And the PH levels guide the fish to its gender, is that true?.. the thing is that all my 4 molly fry turned out to be females.. :( i wanted a male too!!! And i dont want all my fry guppies to turn out females too!!

I know that the PH affects the sex of some egg layers. Do not think they affect Live-bearers though. I think live-bearers naturally have more females. About 3-4 to 1. From my experience.
