I started breeding guppies, and one of them gave birth a month ago. The guppies that survived in my grow-out tank all were females! I want some male guppy fry, but I don't know where to start. Any suggestions?

I have noticed a different ratio of male to female fry in different temps. Ive read more than a few articles that support PH and temperature can affect the fry both in the gravid female and as the fry are growing.

My last few batches have all been in temps of about 76 and I got maybe 7 males out of 50 or so fry. Anyone else got some personal experience on temps affecting the sex of guppy fry?
