Guppy fish and their care

guppy

El guppy fish is one of the simplest fish to care for and with very basic care and even when it comes to reproducing the species. The only care that must be taken into account is that you cannot mix their coexistence with any species and, above all, provide them with a suitable habitat so that they can live without problems. Among them they can live perfectly because they are very calm and friendly and they are not violent at all. Even if it is not advisable to mix them with Betta fish since these are very territorial.

The guppies are hot water fish Therefore, in the aquarium, a heater must be installed to maintain the correct temperature for its correct development, which ranges between 22 and 28 degrees. As well as a thermometer to control the temperature, the ideal is mostly 25 degrees.

As in most aquariums, regardless of the type de peces that you have, you must include a filter to keep the water clean, although you do not have to put it very strong, the filter will be in charge of purifying and keeping the aquarium with clean water. He pH of the water should be slightly alkaline, ranging between 6,5 and 8.

Even if you have a filter from time to time, you have to clean at least 20% of the aquarium water because there is always dirt that stays at the bottom, such as food remains. If we remove the bottom we will see how it comes to the surface and with a simple network we will be able to catch the waste.

As for their diet, as they have a very active and fast metabolism, they are one of those who eat very often but not much, they simply have to get used to fixed hours for food.

To reproduce them you simply need to have a male and a female guppy. Once the fry are born, the filter must be covered because they could be sucked out.
