Guppies can not survive in the river, because guppies are tropical fish, like the water temperature above 22 degrees Celsius, even in the south of China, the river in winter can not reach the water temperature above 22 degrees Celsius, so they are not suitable for the river. In addition, they like weak alkaline water quality, most of the rivers are polluted, and the water quality can not meet their requirements. Moreover, they are gentle and weak in predation, so it is difficult for them to get food in rivers.
Can guppies live in the river? What if there are too many?

1. Can guppies live

in the river? Generally speaking, guppies can't live in the river, because they are small tropical fish with high requirements for water temperature. If they are released into the river, they will easily freeze to death in winter. In our country, even in the south, the temperature in winter can not be kept above 22 degrees Celsius, so the breeders put them into the river, which is likely to freeze to death.

Even if they don't freeze to death, they will die of diseases caused by poor water quality. They like clean water, although the ability to resist pollution is relatively strong, but most of the rivers in our country have chemical pollution, in terms of water quality, they can not survive in the river. In addition, guppies are small and gentle, and if they are released into the wild, they may also die from lack of food.

2. How to deal

with too many guppies? Guppies have strong reproductive capacity, and each breeding can produce dozens or even hundreds of small fish, which will exert great pressure on breeding. Although they are small in size, their reproduction and reproduction rate are relatively fast, and it will not take long for the fish tank to run out of space. If the breeder is unable to raise a large number of guppies, he can give them to the local aquarium, or put about 3-4 centimeters of guppies into the release pond. If the breeder does not want them to continue breeding, the female fish and the male fish are kept separately.
