Methods to stimulate guppies to give birth quickly:

1. Water temperature stimulation. You need to put a heating rod in the water tank and gradually increase the water temperature through the heating rod. After raising the temperature to a certain level, take out the heating rod and let the water slowly cool down. The water temperature will stimulate the guppies to spawn.

2. Replace with new water. Put the guppies that are about to give birth into new water. You don’t need too much new water in the fish tank, and then mix in some of the new water to stimulate it. Be gentle when adding water. This can not only promote the birth of guppies, but also prevent guppies from getting sick. It can also create a clean and hygienic environment for newborn guppies.

3. Artificial birth. Squeeze slowly from the head to the tail of the guppy to squeeze out part of the guppy. After giving birth to some guppies, the rest of the guppies will be born smoothly.

GuppiesPrecautions during the production process:

1. The water temperature should not be too low. In fact, not only during the breeding process, the water temperature in the breeding tank before and after guppies are born should not be too low.

2. Avoid external interference. If the female fish is frightened, production may be interrupted. Although the female fish will regenerate young fish at a later time after the production is interrupted, the uncertainty of the production time will make the production isolation time of the female fish longer. Usually the fish tank for guppy production is not too big, so the water quality in the tank is easy to deteriorate, which may lead to infection of the female fish, causing serious consequences.
