The guppy jumps the tank possibly is because the light, the current suddenly has the change, let the fish be frightened. It may also be because the water quality has deteriorated or the PH value of the water has changed greatly. It may also be because the guppy is chased and attacked by the big fish in the same tank, and its life and health are threatened. In addition, if the density of fish in the tank is particularly high and the water is anoxic, the guppy may also jump into the tank.
Why guppies jump out of the tank and how to prevent them from doing so

1. Environmental impact

1. Reason: The guppy is very sensitive. If the light and water flow suddenly change and frighten the guppy, it may jump out of the tank.

2. Prevention: Put the fish tank in a place with soft light. When changing water, do not move too much to avoid scaring the guppies.

2. poor water quality

1. Reason: Water quality deterioration or PH value becomes high, low will lead to guppy jump tank.

2. Prevention method: Keep the water quality clean by changing the water. Special attention should be paid to the water can not change all the water, change 30% of the water can be. The PH value of water should also be controlled between 7.0 and 7.3, not too low.

3. Effect of polyculture

1. Reason: When the guppy is polycultured with other medium and large fish or aggressive fish, the guppy may jump out of the tank because it is chased and threatened.

2. Precaution: Do not mix guppies with other medium and large fish or aggressive fish.

4. Anoxia in the water

1. Reason: If the density of the fish in the tank is too high and the dissolved oxygen in the water is insufficient, it will also cause the guppy to jump into the tank.

2. Prevention method: Control the density of fish in the tank, not too much. Generally, 50 fish tanks of 40cm * 25cm * 30cm can be cultured. Guppies do not require high oxygen, as long as the density is well controlled, there will be no problem of hypoxia.
