Guppies are paired according to the ratio of one male and four females, because the reproductive ability of guppies is strong, if there are many males, the female fish is easy to fatigue, and after the male and female fish are paired, the female fish will automatically store sperm for the next use. Therefore, it is very appropriate for breeders to pair up according to the ratio of 1:4. If you don't want guppies to breed too fast, you can pair them at a ratio of 1:6. If you want to breed as soon as possible, you can pair them at a ratio of 1:2.
How do guppies pair up and reproduce?

1. how to pair

guppies? The best ratio of guppies is one male and four females, which can ensure the reproduction of guppies and not make the mother fish tired. But if you don't want guppies to breed too fast, you can choose a ratio of 1:6 to pair, so that the ability of guppies to breed will be reduced. If you want guppies to breed in large numbers, pair them in a ratio of two females and one male, so that the reproduction of guppies will increase. When choosing paired fish, it should be noted that although guppies have strong reproductive capacity, they can not hybridize with other species of fish, but can only choose the same species of guppies for pairing.

2. How does the guppy breed

? After the guppy is in heat, the abdomen of the female fish will gradually become larger and black spots will appear, and the anal fin of the male fish will become a reproductive foot. During the rut, the male fish will keep chasing the female fish, and during the chase, the mating will be completed. Guppies will give birth about 4-6 weeks after mating, but neither the male nor the female will take care of the young after birth. They are also eaten as food when hungry, so they need to be fished out and quarantined as soon as possible after the guppy is born. When the young fish are born, the water temperature should be controlled between 25-26 C and the PH value should be controlled between 6.8-7.4, so that they can adapt to the environment quickly.
