Notes for novices raising guppies

1. When novices raise guppies, be careful not to mix them with other types of fish, otherwise the guppies will be easily bullied and bitten.

2. When guppies are sick, be careful not to use medication indiscriminately, otherwise it will easily aggravate the condition.

3. Be careful not to randomly pair guppies with good pedigrees, as this may lead to the death of the guppies.

4. After guppies enter the breeding period, they should be observed regularly. If any guppies that have successfully mated are found, they should be taken out and fed separately to prevent other guppies from eating the eggs.

5. Pay attention to the dosage when feeding each time. Guppies do not know when they are hungry and full, and they will starve to death if fed too much.

How to breed guppies

1. Breeding environment

When breeding guppies, the water temperature should be maintained between 22 degrees and 26 degrees. In winter, use heating rods to increase the water temperature to prevent guppies from freezing, and the pH value of the water should be maintained between 6.5-7.5, which is conducive to their growth. Guppies like hard water, and the hardness of the culture water source is best between 10-15. In the range.

2. Feeding management

When feeding guppies, feed should be provided 2-3 times a day, mainly paramecium, brine shrimp, water earthworms, or eggs. The yellow and fish feed is soaked in water and made into powder, and then placed in the fish pond to facilitate the guppies to eat. It is also necessary to ensure that the food fed each time can be eaten by the guppies within 20 minutes.

3. Clean and change the water

In the process of breeding guppies, the water should be changed regularly to clear the pond. First, use a net to take out the guppies and put them into a basin filled with water. , then drain the water from the fish pond, use steel wool to scrub the inner wall of the fish pond to remove mucus and stains, rinse it with clean water three times, then inject clean water and put the guppies into the fish pond.
