Guppies normally do not degenerate, unless they are inbred for more than three generations, genetic degeneration will occur. If breeders want to avoid the degradation of guppies, it is best not to choose the same male and female fish to breed many times, which can reduce the probability of intimate reproduction. When breeding at ordinary times, you can select a few female fish with strong physique and raise them separately. When breeding each time, put different male fish, so that the offspring bred are not close relatives.
How to reproduce guppy without degradation 1. The method of keeping guppy from degeneration

Under the condition of normal reproduction, guppy will not degenerate. Because only three consecutive generations of inbreeding, guppy genes will degenerate. Breeders want to keep guppies from deteriorating, and it is best not to let males and females reproduce many times. When breeding, you can choose several female guppies with good physique and put them in separate containers for breeding. During their estrus, they choose different males to mate, so as to avoid genetic degradation.

2. How do guppies reproduce

1. Choose parent fish: As mentioned above, different parent fish need to be selected for mating. In addition, we should also choose some parent fish with obvious appearance characteristics and lively personality, so that the offspring bred will be of better quality.

2. Prepare breeding environment: Guppies are not restricted by seasons, so long as the surrounding environment is comfortable, they can breed. If breeders want them to reproduce, they should control the water temperature at about 26 ℃ and keep the PH value between 7.2 and 7.4.

3. Mating: After the parent fish are in heat, the breeder can put them into separate containers for mating. Guppies do not reproduce immediately after successful mating, and their eggs will mature in the female fish before being born. Usually, it takes one month from mating to production.

4. Production: Guppies are oviparous, and they produce for a long time. Breeders need to observe carefully around them to avoid dystocia.
