Guppies have a strong ability to recover, and their tails can grow back even if they are cut off. Young guppies, in particular, recover faster and can grow new tails in about 1-2 weeks. Adult guppies recover relatively slowly, taking about 2-3 weeks to regrow their tails. When cutting the tail, attention should be paid to the disinfection of the appliances and the infection of the wound after cutting. After cutting, it's better to soak the wound with yellow powder to avoid infection.

1. Can guppies grow

after cutting their tails? Guppies can grow after cutting their tails, because their growth and recovery abilities are relatively strong, and they can grow new tails in about 1-3 weeks. The color of the new tail will be different from that of the previous tail, and there will be a light black line between the new tail and the old tail. The speed at which they grow new tails is related to the size of the part that is cut off, and the more they are cut off, the slower they will grow.

2. What

should we pay attention to after cutting the tail of the guppy? 1. Water quality: The wound of the guppy can not be bandaged after cutting the tail, so it can only be exposed in the water. If the water quality is not clean, it is easy to cause wound infection, so the water quality of the guppy after cutting the tail must be kept clean.

2. Disinfection: It is necessary to disinfect after tail-cutting. It is better to take a medicated bath with coarse salt or yellow powder once a day in the morning and evening. It is better to isolate the fish with cut tails. Because guppies can't control the direction of swimming after losing their tails, it's better not to put some sharp ornaments in the new fish tank.

3. Feeding problems: Guppies are injured like humans after tail-clipping, and they need to be fed some high-nutrient and high-protein food to promote their recovery. However, it is better not to feed more live bait, so as to avoid polluting the water quality and infecting the wound of tail-cutting.
