The guppies can be put back into the vat 2-3 weeks after the tail is cut. When you cut their tails, you should pay attention to disinfecting the utensils. After cutting, the wounds should be disinfected with disinfectant drugs, and they should be raised separately to maintain good water quality and prevent bacterial infection of the wounds. As long as they are properly raised, they can grow new tails in about 1-2 weeks. After their new tails grow out, they can be raised back in the vat for another week.

If there are sharp or hard ornaments in the tank, the guppy may be injured. Moreover, the water quality in the vat is not as clean as that in the separate container. In order to avoid reinfection, it is better to wait for them to recover completely before returning to the vat.
