1. Water quality: An important aspect of raising guppies is water quality, because water is necessary for the growth of guppies. Before the guppies are put in, potassium permanganate needs to be put in the water to disinfect, or salt is added to disinfect. The fish tank needs to be cleaned frequently, otherwise the water quality will deteriorate very quickly. Another aspect is the water temperature, which is the most suitable between 20-30 degrees.
2. Feeding: Another important aspect is feeding. Feeding is an essential part of the healthy growth and development of guppies. Food can choose some living animals, such as silk earthworms, red worms, etc., and can also choose some special fish feed. Feeding is best to choose a variety of food to feed, try not to feed only one kind of bait. For adult guppies, it is best to give them adequate nutrition in time. However, each feeding should not be too much, otherwise the excess food will pollute the water in the fish tank.
3. Changing water: Changing water is a necessary step when breeding guppies. Generally speaking, guppies can change water every 5-7 days, and it is impossible not to change water for a long time. The best choice of water is neutral, suitable for the growth of guppies. Moreover, if you choose tap water, then it is best to dry it for a few days before use, because it contains more chlorine, harmful to fish. In addition, the specific amount of water change is between one quarter and one third of the whole, do not change too much at a time.
Usually, guppies can be raised without oxygen. Because they do not consume much oxygen, the dissolved oxygen in the water can meet their oxygen needs. But if you breed them very intensively, or if you breed them together with highly aerobic fish, then you need to give them oxygen.
