They are small tropical fish, generally not very large, but if the living environment is better, nutrition is more adequate, male fish can also grow to about 5 centimeters. Guppies have a short life span, usually 1-3 years, but their reproductive capacity is relatively strong, a female guppy can reproduce 22-25 times in a lifetime.
