guppies like sunlight. Their origin is in the tropics, and they can receive sufficient sunlight. In addition, guppies live in the upper waters, so they can receive more sunshine. Raise guppies artificially, and it is best to keep them in sunny places. Because sunlight can not only promote them to synthesize pigments and make their body colors bright, but also effectively kill bacteria in fish tanks and avoid white spot disease, water mold and other diseases.
Although guppies like sunlight, breeders should not let them be exposed to sunlight for a long time, otherwise the water temperature is too high, and they may die. It is best to control the time of sun exposure when raising guppies artificially. In summer, you can bask in the sun for 1-2 hours every day. In winter, it is best to bask in the sun for 3-4 hours every day.
2. Do guppies need to be equipped with aquarium lampsGuppies need to be equipped with aquarium lamps. They are tropical fish and need more natural light. If they live in an environment that cannot receive more natural light, then breeders need to install aquarium lamps to supplement natural light. If the guppy live in an environment that receives sufficient natural light, the breeder may not install aquarium lamps.
Guppies should not turn on the lights for too long. If there is no natural light, turn on the lights for 8-10 hours a day. If you can receive a small amount of natural light, turn on the lights for 2-3 hours a day.
