Guppies need to mate to give birth to small fish. Guppies are essentially ovoviviparous fish. They have strong reproductive capacity and mature sexual function very early. Even newborn seedlings can enter sexual maturity after three to four months, when they can reproduce. Guppies usually breed once a month, and sometimes twice every three months.

Do guppies need to mate to give birth to small fish?

Guppies are similar to other fish. They are ovoviviparous fish, so they need to mate to give birth to small fish. Guppies are also known as million fish because of their frequent reproduction and large production. People who have raised guppies are estimated to have experienced tank explosions, and their reproductive capacity is particularly strong. The sexual maturity of guppies has a certain relationship with the external environment, such as the water temperature and the amount of feeding will affect the sexual maturity of guppies.

2. How often do guppies breed?

Most guppies breed once a month, but sometimes because of external conditions, some guppies breed twice every three months. Guppies still have very low requirements for reproduction, as long as the conditions for reproduction are met, they will reproduce even in winter.

Although guppies breed every month, their life span is very short, so when raising guppies, we should be careful not to inbreed frequently, which will lead to the degeneration of their species and the decrease of their number. In addition, small fish and big fish should be kept separately to avoid small fish being eaten.
