Turns out all the guppies aren't male after all. Yesterday morning looked in the tank and there were a few fry. Managed to get some really good pictures I will post tomorrow thanks to my awesome camera. I am just letting nature take it's course. There are at least 4 fry. Next month I may seperate some and see if we can get some to make it to adults. It's only a 15 gallon tank and we have 4 guppies and 1 oto and now the 4 fry. I am planning on getting 2 more otos as was suggested by others in the near future. Guess I am going to hold off on buying any fish and this tnak will end up being a mainly guppy tank. The fry seem to be eating the flakes that I crushed and they are so fast. Oh well. Now I just need to figure out what sex the adults are, I have no idea which fish was the mother.
Guess they aren't males after all

is one of them paler than the others? usually the mothers will have a black spot where the babies come out. they're also fat cuz they're full of babies.. now that the babies are born though, it may be more difficult until she gets pregnant again.
Here's a link with good clear pictures of the difference in the anal fin of a male and female platty. Guppies are very much the same shape. http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=13664
I did some searching online and have a pretty good idea of what I am looking at now. When I get home from work i'll take a peak at all the guppies. Two of them are tequila sunrise guppies and they look a little different but I believe they are all males from petsmart. Who knows.
