The class is wrong. Pisces is a superclass. GerardM 08:45, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
This section is interesting, but it would be nice to have a reference:
"Recent studies suggest that vividly colored males are favored via sexual selection (Handicap principle) while natural selection via predation favors subdued tones. As a result, the dominant phenotypes observed within a reproductively isolated community are a function of the relative importance each factor has in a particular environment."

The fish should be at just "guppy", because all the other meanings are far less common. Stan 17:01, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Hi, This is my first contribution. GuppY is also a CMS (Content Managment System). www.freeguppy.org Esteban
It would be nice to have that study as a reference; unfortunately, not even the author names are given! - Samsara contrib talk 21:21, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
This wording is unsuitable for an encyclopaedia. Anyone have info on how much salinity they can withstand? Guettarda 15:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[2] Originally placed 24 February 2004 by User:GerardM, I have searched at the library, on the web, and at the American Livebearers Association website. Nowhere is there a reference to any guppies of this size nor can I find a reference to them being introduced in the area stated. The entry is not deleted just commented out until GerardM can provide sources/citations/references. → ΣcoPhreek Δ 05:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that the picture on this page is actually a related livebearer: Endler's Livebearer (Poecilia wingei), rather than a "guppy" (Poecilia reticulata). Though Endler's as a separate species has been historically disputed, it's accepted now. Could we rename this picture as Endler's and move it to the Endler's article, and perhaps find a guppy picture? Chrisverde 18:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
What is meant by this statement? Is a closed environment a fish tank? If that is the case then the above statement is in direct conflict with the statement that guppies are one of the hardiest aquarium fish. Hello
The first sentence is not even a sentence... I don't know enough about guppies to be able to fix it. "Although if a female is put in the breeder box too early or late it will cause her to have a miscarriage. Never move a female of all livebearers species that is more than two weeks away from her due date."-- 128.239.144.130 18:09, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Every reference that I can find states the gestation period of a guppy is 18 to 33 DAYS, with an average of 28 DAYS, yet the Wiki entry is "The gestation period of a guppy is 18-22 weeks, with an average of 19.5 weeks." Why is there such a disconnect? If the entry is indeed correct it needs to somehow address why it is so different from most other sources. 72.66.24.19 ( talk) 03:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

This article needs cleaning up, it's been 'abused' quite a bit 78.151.166.164 ( talk) 10:13, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
can a guppy and a siamese fighting fish live together —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.65.85.131 ( talk) 13:24, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
This information, regardless of source, seems erroneous and quite frankly DANGEROUS to guppy owners who really put 5 tablespoons per gallon of water in their tanks, and until some other source can confirm this I feel this information should be taken down.

Are guppies eadible and do they taste good? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.186.202.3 ( talk) 15:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
They are edible but really hard to clean, not much meat on each one, not really worth it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.155.90.186 ( talk) 02:54, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
