Newborn guppies can be oxygenated or not, depending on the density of the fish tank. If the feeding density is not large, oxygen can not be used, because the oxygen demand of guppies is not very high, and the demand of small guppies is even smaller. If the feeding density is small, the oxygen in the water is enough. If the feeding density is too high, oxygen is needed, because if the density is high, the dissolved oxygen in the water is not enough, and the small guppy is likely to die because of lack of oxygen.
Do newborn guppies need to be oxygenated and fed?

1. Do newborn guppies need oxygen

? Newborn guppies need oxygen or not. Whether to oxygenate or not depends on the feeding density in the fish tank and the frequency of changing water. If the fish tank is larger and there are fewer small guppies, you can choose not to use oxygen. Because the small guppy's demand for oxygen is not high, the normal frequency of changing water once a week can ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water.

If the fish tank is densely fed, oxygen is needed, because hypoxia can easily lead to the death of small guppies. If the oxygen pump is not installed, the water can be changed frequently, about 2-3 times a week, which can also ensure adequate oxygen. Alternatively, the recirculation filtration system may be turned on, which may also increase the oxygen.

2. Do newborn guppies need to be fed

? Newborn guppies do not need to be fed because they carry enough lecithin to absorb for 2-3 days. After 3 days, you can choose to feed some shrimp eggs or crushed egg yolks. Newborn guppies do not need to be fed much food, but they need to be fed every 2-3 hours. After a week, you can feed some synthetic feed or live baits such as red worms and tubificidae. About 2-3 times a day is enough.
