Raising newborn guppies, the water temperature is higher than that of adult guppies, because they are newborn and weak, the water temperature should be kept at 26 C, and the temperature difference should not exceed 1 C. The best water for raising small guppies is weakly alkaline, with a PH value slightly higher than 7.0 and a fluctuation of no more than 0.5. Newborn guppies do not need to be fed, and they carry enough nutrients to absorb for 2 days. After 2 days, it can be fed. For the first feeding, you can choose cooked egg yolk or shrimp eggs.

1. How to raise

newborn guppies? The water temperature of adult guppies is generally 22-26 degrees Celsius, but it is better to adjust the temperature of newborn guppies to 24-26 degrees Celsius, because they are newborn and weak, and if the water temperature is low, they are easy to die directly. Guppies do not require high water quality, as long as it is weakly alkaline, but within a week of birth, the PH value fluctuation should not exceed 0.5, the temperature difference should not exceed 1 C, and the water should not be changed, otherwise it will affect the health of small fish.

Newborn guppies do not need to be fed. They are usually fed 2-3 days after birth. The breeder can feed some cooked egg yolk, but the egg yolk water is easy to pollute the water quality. If there is no filtration system in the fish tank, it is not recommended to feed them. It can also feed some shrimp eggs, which are nutritious, digestible and not easy to pollute the water quality. Newborn guppies are very susceptible to pintail disease, breeders need to focus on observation, once found to have pintail disease, it is necessary to isolate as soon as possible to avoid infection.

Newborn guppies can be fed with shrimp eggs, chopped red worms, shrimp meat, etc. These foods are nutritious and easy to absorb. They also have the effect of promoting defecation, which can accelerate the metabolism of guppies and promote their growth and development. Small guppies in this period can be fed more, so that they can eat enough, preferably to eat a round ball.
