If more and more guppies are born, the male and female can be fed separately, because the reproductive capacity of guppies is relatively strong, about once a month, each time can produce 10-120 small fish, even in winter will not stop breeding. So if you want to reduce the number of guppies, you need to separate the female from the male as soon as possible to avoid mating again. If there are too many guppies to keep, they can be given to friends.
How to deal with more and more guppies? Can they be released directly?

1. how to deal with

more and more guppies? First of all, separate the male fish from the female fish to avoid mating. Guppies breed about once a month, regardless of season and time, producing more than 60-200 eggs each time, which can hatch 10-120 small fish. After 3-4 months, the hatched fish can reproduce again, so after a year, the reproduction will be quite amazing. Therefore, guppies are also known as "million fish". By avoiding their mating, the number of guppies can be effectively controlled.

If you accidentally let them breed, you can let the mother fish stay in the breeding tank and let them eat the eggs. This can not only supplement the nutrition of the fish, but also reduce the number of hatches. Or, after the mother fish spawns, the eggs are directly fished out and thrown away, so that the possibility of re-hatching of the eggs can be completely eliminated. If it is a small fish that has hatched, you can choose to give it to relatives and friends who like to raise fish. Or sell to the local aquarium, or take small fish for feed, these methods are more appropriate.

2. Can guppies be released directly

? Guppies can't be released directly, because when they are young, they will be eaten directly by other carnivorous fish. So it's better to wait for the guppy to grow to about 4 centimeters before releasing it. When releasing animals, pay attention to choosing rivers or lakes that can be released, or ponds with better water quality.
