The ancient strain guppy is a relatively easy to raise guppy species. They can adapt to the temperature range of light, and can grow in water of 19-29 degrees Celsius. They do not require high acidity and alkalinity of water, and can grow in neutral water and weak alkaline water. They can eat more food, and it is easy to prepare feed when breeding.
1. Water temperature: The ancient guppy can adapt to the water temperature of 19-29 ℃, but prefers to grow in the water of 22-26 ℃. If the water temperature is low, they grow more slowly. If the water temperature is very low, below 19 degrees Celsius, they are easy to get sick. Therefore, when breeding, it is recommended to install heating rods in the fish tank to maintain water temperature, which is very good for the growth of fish.
2. PH: Ancient guppies prefer neutral and alkaline water. They grow better in water with a pH between 7.0 and 8.5. Therefore, it is recommended to adjust the PH value of water to this range.
3. Dissolved oxygen: The ancient guppy needs to breathe the dissolved oxygen in the water to grow. When it is cultured, it needs water with sufficient dissolved oxygen to raise it. If the dissolved oxygen in the water is insufficient, oxygen pump can be used to pump oxygen into the water.
4. Feeding: There are many kinds of foods that the ancient guppies can eat, such as red worms, brine shrimp, water fleas, cucumbers, spinach, artificial fish food, etc. When breeding, artificial fish food can be used as the main food, together with other animal and plant feed to feed.
