Guppies are ovoviviparous fish. When they are in heat, the anal fin of the male fish will be converted into genitals, and then they will constantly chase the female fish to mate. After mating, the female fish will lay eggs about a month later. Before spawning, the belly of the female fish will gradually become larger, and the fetal spot will also expand. When the guppy spawns, the water temperature needs to be controlled between 24-27 degrees. After spawning, the mother fish needs to be fished out as soon as possible, and then the water temperature should be kept above 24 degrees. After a few days, the small fish can be hatched.
How do guppies breed and hatch after breeding?

1. How do guppies reproduce

? Before reproduction, the anal fin of the male guppies will become genitals. After estrus, they will keep chasing the female fish. After chasing the female fish, they will insert their genitals into the cloaca of the female fish, and then discharge sperm. After fertilization, the abdomen of the female fish will gradually become larger, and it usually takes about 25-28 days to lay eggs. Before the guppy spawns, the fetal spots will be very obvious, and the mood is more irritable. After spawning, they need to be fished out as soon as possible because they do not take care of the young fish and sometimes eat them. Therefore, it is necessary to put the young fish in a separate container for hatching. It is better to control the water temperature and quality when hatching. Generally, the young fish can be hatched in about 3 days.

2. How to hatch

guppies after breeding? Guppies will not hatch small fish after spawning, so breeders need to separate the parent fish from the eggs. The hatching temperature of fish eggs should be controlled at 26-28 degrees, and the PH value should be controlled between 6.8-7.4. If conditions permit, a variety of aquatic plants can be used to make small fish better attached to them. Guppy eggs can generally hatch in about 3 days. After hatching, the fry should first pay attention to the fact that they do not need to be fed in the first 3 days. After 3 days, they can be fed with some cooked egg yolk or shrimp. Secondly, we should pay attention not to change the water within a week. After half a month, we need to fish back to the original tank and raise it with the big fish.
