Usually a freshwater fish, but I have a guppy question. I have 9 four month old guppies and they're all tan except for one, which is grey with a little bit of black. They don't have a single drop of color on them. I've been feeding flake and pellet twice a day. Any ideas?
 
Are they simply females?
 
I guess it's possible, but pretty unlikely for all 9 of them to be females. Also, females should have at least some color...
 
Mine show color when about half grown.

Even the small ones quickly have some color on their tails.
