Guppies should not be kept in cold water. Guppies are not cold-water fish. They generally live in an environment where the water temperature is above 22 degrees Celsius. Although this kind of fish does not require a high living environment and is cold-resistant, in order to ensure their healthy growth, they must not use cold water to raise fish. Raising guppies should use water with high hardness and alkalinity, and the water temperature should be kept at about 25 C. In addition, the oxygen content in water should be observed regularly, and food residues and excreta should be treated in time to ensure water quality.
Can the guppy be raised in cold water? What kind of water is good for it?

1. Can guppies be raised

in cold water? Guppies are tropical fish, which generally live in water at 22-28 C, while cold water generally refers to cold water at 12-16 C. At this temperature, they can't live normally. If the water temperature is kept at 13 degrees Celsius, the fish can survive, but it will become spiritless, do not like to eat, and like to lie at the bottom of the tank, which will even affect health in the long run, often get sick and shorten life. Therefore, the best temperature for raising guppies is 25 C. Therefore, in winter, it is better to arrange a heater in the tank to stabilize the water temperature.

2. What is

the use of raising guppies? The requirements of living environment are not high, and the fish is very cold-resistant and has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. This kind of fish likes to live in water with high hardness, neutral or alkaline. Therefore, the source of water for raising guppies can be well water, tap water and so on. When using, we should pay attention to keeping water, especially tap water. First of all, we must dry it in the sun for 2-3 days to remove chlorine and other substances in tap water. After

drying, the hardness and pH value of the water should be adjusted. The hardness should be kept between 10 and 15, and the PH should be kept between 6.5 and 7.5. Finally, after adjusting the water temperature to 25 C, the water should be poured into the tank to observe the oxygen content in the water. The density of the fish should not be too large, and keeping a spacious space will also prolong their life. Water quality can also affect the growth of guppies, and keeping water quality stable and clean for a long time is conducive to their healthy growth.
