Guppies like big or small water flow, acidic or alkaline water

Guppies like small water or still water, and most small fish like to live in still water. Because of their small size, they can't resist the larger water flow. If the breeder keeps them in an environment with heavy water flow, the impact of water flow will make them unable to maintain their balance. Moreover, they can't rest normally in the environment with large water flow. Their growth and development will be affected if they are in an environment with large water flow for a long time.

1. Does guppies like the still water with large water flow or small water flow

The guppies like the still water best, followed by the smaller water flow. Because they are small fish, many small fish prefer to live in still water. Because of their small size and weak swimming ability, they can't resist too much water flow under normal circumstances. If the breeder keeps the guppy in a fish tank with a large current, the impact of the current will make the guppy unable to move normally, and may make their body unable to maintain balance.

In addition, their fins need to swing constantly in the environment with large current. But when they are resting, the fins will stop swinging. If the current is too large, they will be washed away by the current when resting, which will seriously affect the rest of guppies.

2. Do guppies like acidic water or alkaline water

Alkaline water is the favorite of guppies, and the most suitable PH value for their growth is between 7.2 and 7.4. When breeding guppy, it is best to check the pH value of water frequently. If the water quality is acidic, the breeder needs to adjust immediately. It is best to check the water quality before changing water every time. When the water is acidic, breeders can add some quicklime, baking soda, big soda, etc. These substances are weakly alkaline. Compared with lime water, big soda and baking soda are milder, and big soda can also eliminate chlorine in water, which is very suitable for guppy.
