to guppies, because guppies are freshwater fish, and they live mainly in rivers and lakes in tropical areas, so there is no need to add salt to raise guppies. But if guppies are infected with bacteria or diseases, they also need to add salt. If the breeder wants to add some salt in peacetime to play the role of sterilization, the concentration should not exceed 1 ‰. Because if the concentration is too high, the guppy will have the symptoms of water shortage, which can only backfire.
should be added to guppies? If guppies suffer from diseases, they can add 2 ‰ salt. Because the purpose of adding salt is to kill bacteria and viruses. However, salt does not directly kill bacteria, but increases the osmotic pressure in the water, seeps out the water in the cells of bacteria, and makes them die of lack of water. Therefore, when adding salt, it should be lower than the concentration of guppy body fluid, but higher than the concentration of virus cells. If you want to prevent it in peacetime, you can add only 1 ‰ of salt, which can not only sterilize and disinfect, but also has little effect on guppy.
will happen if you add too much salt to the guppy? If you don't add too much, the guppy will have shortness of breath and floating head. In this case, the fish can recover quickly by changing the water and reducing the salt concentration. If too much salt is added, the guppy will go straight into shock, as if it were dead. In this case, it needs to be rinsed with clean water first, and then replaced with a new fish tank.
