Attempting Guppy Breeding?

She's about to give birth for the SECOND time here any day now. So I'd say they sure can develop eggs inside when much smaller than their adult size!

How soon after bringing her home did she give birth the first time? How big was she?

How.. a second time?!?! I just can't understand that. No where have I read that guppies store sperm for subsequent births.
 
Many livebearers can do that. I don't see why guppies would be any different. It also says so on the guppy Wikipedia. Says they can store it for up to a year

Yes, I've read several places that they can store sperm for at least 4 pregnancies from a single insemination.

I'd estimate she was no more than 0.75 inches when she gave birth the first time, that was a little over 1 month ago so a little under 4 weeks from the day I brought her home. She's defintely bigger/longer now than she was the first time she had babies.
