can guppies grow in 20 days? Guppies are small tropical fish, which can grow to about 2-3 millimeters in a week. The average body length of adult guppies is only about 4 centimeters. Their life span is relatively short, their life cycle is relatively short, and they grow very fast in their infancy. After they enter sexual maturity, they will not grow any longer. They are also relatively small fish, so they can not grow much length every month. It takes about a month for
them to grow from a small fry to about a centimeter in length. Female guppies may grow about 2-3 mm after entering sexual maturity. Male guppies are different from females in that their body length does not change after sexual maturity.
? Guppies eat live bait to grow fast, such as tubificidae, shrimp, water fleas, shrimp and fish with animal feed. This kind of feed is rich in many kinds of nutrients, especially the content of protein is very high, and its nutritional value is much higher than that of synthetic feed. Among the live baits, the survival time of tubificidae is relatively long, which can promote the active predation of fish and promote their growth and development by increasing the swimming time of guppies. The nutritional value of shrimp is very high, while water fleas are rich in other nutrients needed for the growth and development of guppies, such as calcium, vitamins and so on, which are more suitable for feeding guppies.
However, live bait should be sterilized before it is used to feed fish, because it is easy to carry germs, parasites, pathogens and so on. If not handled properly, it may cause the fish to get sick or even die. Moreover, this kind of bait can easily pollute the water quality, so food residues and excreta should be disposed of in time after feeding.
