for many years. Guppies become adults 3-4 months after birth. After adulthood, guppies are sexually mature. The time of their sexual maturity is closely related to water temperature and feeding conditions. If the environment is suitable, they will grow faster and mature earlier. However, when breeding, it is better not to use rigid mature fish as parent fish to mate and breed, but to use about 5 months old fish as parent fish to mate.
Guppies have a large number of reproduction and a high frequency of reproduction, almost once a month, and can reproduce 15-100 small fish each time. Guppy life is relatively short, up to 3 years, but the reproductive capacity is relatively strong, if the feeding conditions are good, it will be more and more.
should we pay attention to when raising guppies? 1. Maintain water quality: Guppies are not particularly strict with water quality, but generally speaking, they like slightly alkaline water quality, and the PH value should be controlled between 6.5 and 7.5. They should change water regularly and quantitatively, and pay attention to the temperature difference between old and new water when changing water, so as not to cause stress reaction. In addition, the new tap water should not be replaced directly, because it contains a lot of harmful substances. It can only be replaced after insolation or drying.
2. Control the water temperature: They are tropical fish, and the water temperature should be controlled at about 25 ℃ when they are raised.
3. Isolation: After they breed, the adult fish should be separated from the small fish in time, so as to avoid the adult fish eating the small fish as food by mistake.
