Under normal circumstances, guppies do not need oxygen. They belong to small tropical ornamental fish, and their consumption of oxygen is not particularly large, so as long as the space of the fish tank itself is large enough, or the density of feeding is relatively small, they can not use oxygen. However, if the fish tank used for breeding is relatively small, or the density of fish is relatively high, then the breeder must give them oxygen, so as to ensure their own oxygen access and avoid their lack of oxygen.
Does guppy want to hit oxygen? What expression can you have when anoxic?

1. Do guppies need oxygen

? Whether they need oxygen when raising guppies depends mainly on the density of the fish and the size of the fish tank. If the space of the fish tank is relatively large and the number of guppies raised in the tank is relatively small, there is no need to oxygenate them. If the space of the fish tank itself is relatively small, and the number of guppies raised in the tank is relatively large, it is necessary to give them oxygen, otherwise it is easy to suffer from hypoxia, which may lead to death in serious cases. In addition to oxygen, the fish tank should be placed in a well-ventilated place, and the water quality should be good, so that they can grow smoothly.

2. What are the manifestations

of anoxia in guppies? When anoxia occurs in guppies, they will float to the surface of the water to breathe, and their mouths are more obvious one by one, which can be recognized by the breeder at a glance.

In summer, they are more prone to hypoxia, because the temperature is higher in summer, and their metabolism is more vigorous, so they are prone to hypoxia in the fish tank. In addition, in summer, their fecal excretion is more, and the organic matter in the water increases, which will also consume the oxygen in the tank.

Guppies are prone to poor growth and even death in an anoxic environment. If the water body is relatively large, they can survive for about a day. If the water body is small, they may die in a few hours.
