When guppies are bred or raised normally, they can be matched according to the proportion of one male and four females. If you don't want guppies to breed, you can raise them according to the ratio of 2 males and 1 female. Guppies are ovoviviparous. They have the ability to store sperm and can reproduce many times after mating. Guppies reproduce in large numbers and frequently, and if breeders do not want them to reproduce in large numbers, it is best to keep males and females separately.
How to breed guppies with a male and a few females

1. When guppies

breed, they can be paired according to the ratio of 1 male and 4 females. If they do not want to breed, they can be paired according to the ratio of 2 male and 1 female. Because the male fish is bigger and more colorful, it is more ornamental than the female fish. Guppies are ovoviviparous, and the female has the ability to store sperm, so they can reproduce many times by mating once. Guppies reproduce in large numbers, and if breeders do not want them to reproduce, they can feed males and females in isolation.

2. How do guppies reproduce

? Guppies are ovoviviparous and fertilized internally. When they are in estrus, the anal fin of the male fish will develop into a reproductive foot and constantly chase the female fish. During their pursuit of each other, the male fish will insert the reproductive foot into the female fish's body to complete insemination. The female fish does not use all the sperm, and stores some of it in the body for later use. Female fish can reproduce in about 20 days after fertilization. When the female fish reproduces, its abdomen will become square and its fetal spots will become black. Some of them will jump up and down when they give birth, while others will hide quietly in the corner. Guppies give birth directly to young fish, which swim as soon as they are born, and breeders can feed them some food two days after they are born.
