Guppies can only be raised at home for 1-3 years, because the life span of guppies is short, and if they are carefully cared for, they may live for 2-3 years. If the feeding environment is poor, they may only live for about one year. Although their life span is relatively short, their reproductive ability is relatively strong. Generally, guppies mature 3-5 months after birth, and adult guppies can produce once every 1-2 months when the environment is suitable.
How long can guppies be kept and how often do they give birth to small fish?

1. How long

can guppies be raised? The life span of guppies is relatively short, generally only 1-3 years. If the breeder ensures that the water temperature can be 22-24 degrees, the water quality is clean and refreshing, and the food and nutrition are adequate, the guppy is likely to live for 2-3 years or even more than 3 years. If the living environment is poor, food and nutrition are insufficient, it is possible to live only one year. If you have a poor constitution, you may die in a few days.

2. How often do guppies give birth to small

fish? The reproductive capacity of guppies is very strong. Small guppies can reproduce about 3-5 months after birth. As long as the living environment is suitable, guppies can breed once every 1-2 months. However, it is recommended not to let guppies produce too frequently, because excessive reproduction will affect the life span of the mother fish and reduce their own resistance.

3. How many small

fish can guppies give birth to at one time? Guppies are ovoviviparous, so the number of births is closely related to their size. Generally, the larger guppies can produce 80-120 at a time, and the smaller guppies can produce 20-50 at a time. If the guppies are produced for the first time, the number will be relatively small, about 10-50. After 1-2 times of production, the quantity will gradually increase.
