Guppy pups do not need to be fed for the first three days of life, and after three days, they need to be fed every 2-3 hours, and the amount of food they feed each time needs to be eaten in 3-5 minutes. Because they have a high demand for food and a fast metabolism at this time. After one week of birth, the feeding frequency can be reduced, about 2-3 times a day, and the amount of each feeding can be finished within 5 minutes. About a month after birth, it can be fed 1-2 times a day, and each time it can be finished in 10 minutes.
Guppy pups are fed several times a day and the water is changed every few days.

1. Guppy pups are fed several times

a day. Guppy pups do not need to be fed when they are born, because the lecithin they carry from their parent fish can be absorbed for 2-3 days. After 3 days, you can feed it every 2-3 hours. You can feed some cooked egg yolks or shrimp eggs. It's better to choose shrimp eggs, because egg yolks are easy to pollute water quality. One week after birth, they can be fed 2-3 times a day, and the best amount of feeding can be finished in 5 minutes, and at this time they can eat some synthetic feed or red worms, mealworms and so on. One month after birth, they can be fed according to the normal frequency, 1-2 times a day is the most appropriate, but the amount of feeding needs to be increased, because they are in the stage of growth and development.

2. Guppy pups do not need to change water within a week of

birth, because they are weak, and changing water will make them uncomfortable, so it is better to wait a week for them to adapt to the external environment thoroughly. After a week, the water can be changed every 2-3 days, and the amount of water changed each time should not be too much, preferably controlled at one fifth of the total amount of water. The baby guppies should be given tap water after exposure to the sun, which can eliminate chlorine. When changing water, it should be poured slowly to avoid the impact of violent water on the fish body, causing them to have a stress reaction.
