The guppies being omnivores They are capable of feeding on both plants and animals, although their diet is based on scales, especially if we talk about specimens that live in an aquarium. However we have to be very careful when it comes to keep this diet in flakes to keep its nutritional values in perfect condition. A cool, dry place away from light is necessary so that it does not lose its properties.
For guppies it is essential flake foods precisely because they dissolve easily but as they have vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and other substances, they can be affected by not keeping the container in good condition. Once it is opened it cannot be used for more than two weeks, therefore, the ideal is to buy containers as they last that period of time.
The necessary amount that guppies need is not very large, they have a small stomach, so it is recommended to feed them two or three times a day enough that they take to eat for five minutes.
Keep in mind that females are slower when it comes to eating than male guppies, as they can fill their stomachs more quickly. This is dictated primarily by your behavior in expending more energy.
Also guppies enjoy a lot if they we feed with frozen food, and if we take into account that they are highly nutritious, from time to time we can give it that whim. Red mosquito larvae, crystal larvae, and mosquito larvae are very nutritious.
As a special delicacy we have the Artemia nauplii, with this food they will never have enough, therefore it is not necessary to overfeed them. Once a day is sufficient.
Hello my name is Ivette, I would like to know what happened to my fish, it turns out that about two weeks ago I changed their asylent or rather I conbine prawn with flake food all very well, my aquarium did not have a heater thinking that it will Being winter I went to buy one, and it turns out that it melted after two days, I went to the aquarium man and he did not want to change it, so he told me that he would sell me one at half price, well I took it, I make the clarification that My aquarium is 20 gallons a jug, I installed the heater that was two days ago and since dawn today my fish began to die, I have fry and none have died, the aquarium water was warm but not very hot, However, it was better to disconnect it and wait for the temperature to drop to change the water, wash everything and leave them as before without a heater, the case that 18 died already I only have 2 adults left and all the others were young from 4 to 6 months and about 4 young two females and two males,I think it was because of the water temperature, please someone tell me what could have happened. I have been with the aquarium for about a year and I had never died, well not one, to tell you, I am very sad I hope you can help me haaa the heater is 50w. And I told the guy in the aquarium that it was for a one-jug aquarium.
friend was wrong look at the heaters are 1 w per liter of water so your heater was for 50 liters or more… .. you made fish broth hehehe look the ideal is one of 10 watts for your fish tank…. Even if it is 20 liters of 10 watts they are enough if you do not run the risk of it becoming overheated and buy a preferred thermometer….
Hello everyone, about putting a heater in an aquarium is a good idea but as far as I know, guppies are cold water and the truth is that I have been raising guppies for a long time and I never put a thermos on them even if it was winter. they reproduce and continue their normal life.
I think it is better not to put a thermos since it is useless from my point of view.
