Why does the guppy always float on the surface of the water and how to solve it?

1. Lack of oxygen

1. Reason: If the guppy floats on the surface of the water and keeps breathing with its mouth wide open, it is lack of oxygen. There are many causes of hypoxia, such as poor water quality, low air pressure, reduced dissolved oxygen in the water, etc. These conditions will cause guppy symptoms of hypoxia, breeders need to judge according to the actual situation.

2. Solution: If you confirm that it is due to lack of oxygen, you can change the water first to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, or change the water quality in the fish tank. Then install an oxygen pump and turn it on for 3-4 hours a day to meet the oxygen demand of guppies.

2. Poor

water quality 1. Reason: If the water quality in the tank is too poor, guppies will always float on the surface of the water because they want to escape from the environment.

2. Solution: The breeder needs to change the water in time to ensure that the water is slightly alkaline. The amount of water change does not need to be too large, and it can be controlled at one third.

3. Normal reaction

1. Reason: Guppies like to move near the surface of the water because they are upper fish. If the guppy has been swimming on the surface of the water, but there are no other symptoms, it is normal.

2. Solution: It is normal for guppies to move on the water surface. Breeders can observe whether there are other symptoms, such as big mouth breathing, jumping tanks and so on. If not, there is no need to deal with them, and they can recover by themselves.
