Guppy freshwater fish or marine fish, what water quality do you like

Guppies are freshwater fish that are found in rivers and lakes in Venezuela Guyana and Brazil. They live in waters with a salt content of less than 0.5%, and they are standard freshwater fish in terms of points. If the breeder keeps them in seawater, they are very tolerant of death. Because the concentration of salt in seawater is relatively high, there is less salt in guppies, and seawater can easily affect their normal survival.

1. Guppies freshwater fish or marine fish

Guppies belong to freshwater fish, because guppies growing in the wild live in fresh water. Moreover, their origin is also in freshwater areas, and the salt content in waters is less than 0.5%, so they belong to freshwater fish. If breeders want to breed guppies in seawater, they may die.

Because the salt concentration in seawater is higher, the salt concentration in guppies is lower. If guppies grow in seawater, the water in their bodies will flow to the sea continuously, which will eventually lead to dehydration and death. When culturing artificially, it is best to control the concentration of salt in water within 0.5%.

2. What water quality do guppies like

The weakly alkaline water quality is the favorite of guppies, and the breeder can keep the PH value between 7.2 and 7.4. However, they can adapt to a wide range of water quality. They can grow in neutral and weakly alkaline water. As long as the breeder keeps the PH value between 7.0 and 7.5, they can grow normally.

Guppies do not pollute the water quality seriously, and the frequency of changing water for them by breeders does not need to be too high. If there is no filter, change the water once every 3-5 days, and the amount of water changed each time can be controlled at one third of the total amount of water. If the filter has been installed, it only needs to change the water once every 5-7 days.
