1. Do guppies need to be separated from males when giving birth Guppies need to separate females from males when giving birth, because males have no concept of parent-child, and if they are raised together with small fish, they are likely to eat them. In addition, guppies are oviparous. If the male fish is around when the female fish gives birth, it may disturb the female fish and cause them to have dystocia.
In addition to separating males from larvae, breeders should also separate females from larvae after the production of females is completed. Because female fish will consume more physical strength when giving birth, after giving birth, their physical strength and energy will be exhausted. Therefore, it is very likely that the female fish will eat the young fish as food.
2. How to raise guppy larvae1. Environment: Guppy larvae are just born and have poor adaptability to the environment. Breeders need to keep the water temperature at about 26 ℃, and it is best to install a heating rod to keep the water temperature in a stable range. They are just born and sensitive to the fluctuation of water quality, so try not to change water within 7 days of their birth. After 7 days, a small amount of water can be changed to avoid their discomfort caused by excessive fluctuation of water quality.
2. Feeding: There are not many kinds of food that guppy larvae can eat, so breeders can choose some highly nutritious and digestible foods to feed. For example, paramecium, water fleas, water lice, cooked egg yolks, shrimp eggs in good years, etc. They are just born and don't eat much, so it is best for breeders to feed them in a small number of times.
