The beginning is the same as before trying to get virgin guppy females, I hope I separated them soon enough from there brothers, and put them with gambusia.
From reading your commentary, it sounds to me like you know exactly what you are doing. I have no doubt you separated the guppies on time. From my experiment, the developing male guppies didn't exhibit mating behavior until after revealing themselves. Feel free to share your photos! My muppy fry could only be identified as hybrids with the well-trained eye. They have more of a box-shaped chest as compared to a normal guppy.
