guppy usually eats live bait to enhance its color quickly. Breeders can feed it with water earthworms and water fleas. These high-protein baits can effectively promote the color enhancement of guppy. The live bait that guppy can't eat should be fished up in time to prevent the deterioration of water quality. Long-term consumption of live bait can make their scales more shiny.
When feeding live bait, be careful not to feed guppy with the same live bait for a long time. You can change the taste of the fish from time to time. It is easy to suffer from malnutrition if you feed one live bait for a long time. In addition to live bait, you can also feed some fish feed rich in minerals and feed containing fat.
2. How to raise guppy quicklyguppy quickly depends on light, feed, oxygen supply, water quality and other factors:
1. Illumination: Quantitative light time can stimulate photoreceptor cells of guppy scales, and the brightness and color of scales will change greatly. LED lights can also be installed in fish tanks when economic conditions permit. Let the fish receive 6 hours of light every day, which can make their body color brighter.
2. Feed: The feed for feeding fish should be diversified, and the richer the nutrition, the better the color of fish. Generally, live bait has more nutrition, so it is recommended to feed them with live bait such as water earthworms, water fleas, abundant shrimp eggs and red nematodes.
3. Oxygen supply: Adequate oxygen can make them color better. You can use an oxygen pump to supplement oxygen in water for 1-2 hours every day.
4. Water quality: The water quality must be good, the pH value of water should not be too low, and neutral water quality is more conducive to guppy color enhancement. Moreover, it is necessary to change water regularly, salvage the residual bait and feces in the water in time, and prevent the food residue or fish feces in the water from polluting the water quality.
