The guppy (Poecilia reticulata), also known as the millionfish,[1] is one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species in the world. It is a small member of the Poecilidae family (females 4-6 centimetres long, males 2½–3½ centimetres long) and like all other members of the family, is live-bearing.
(Extracted from Wikipedia)

How then I know that the males are so much shorter than females. Think I have more females guppies than the male ones. Maybe I should scoop them out and replace with more males. Afterall the male ones are much more colourful.
