When raising guppies, we need to pay attention to whether male and female fish can be mixed. For adult guppies, the male and female can be kept separately. However, for small fish that have just hatched and are less than a month old, male and female are indistinguishable. Therefore, in the juvenile stage of the fish can be raised together, but after a month of breeding, that is, after the distinction between male and female, can be separated from the breeding.
If they are still kept together, then in the breeding season, the male fish will chase the female fish, and they will carry out the process of natural reproduction. However, it should be noted that for guppies that have just reached sexual maturity, the effect of reproduction is very bad, and the quality of small fish reproduced is very bad. Therefore, it is more appropriate to raise them separately.
When breeding guppies, male and female fish are raised separately, the benefits are more. The first is to avoid breeding when they have just reached the age of sexual maturity as mentioned above. Separating them and reproducing them after they reach the most suitable age is conducive to improving varieties and making the effect of reproduction better. In addition to this aspect, there are other benefits. For example, separate farming, male fish will grow faster, female fish will develop better, and the surrounding environmental factors are easy to control. Moreover, compared with the female fish, the temperament of the male fish is more fierce, and separate breeding can prevent the female fish from being harmed.
