The reproductive capacity of guppies is very strong. Under normal conditions, they can produce about 11 small fish a year, and can produce 10-120 small fish at a time. Therefore, guppies are also nicknamed "million fish". Guppies are ovoviviparous and sexually mature very early, and small fish can be produced after three to four months of normal breeding. Guppies are produced almost regardless of the season, and are likely to be produced all year round as long as the production environment is suitable.
How many times a year do guppies give birth to small fish? How many small fish do they give birth to at one time?

1. Guppies are small

fish born several times a year. Guppies are ovoviviparous fish with very strong reproductive capacity. Under normal feeding conditions, this kind of fish can reproduce about once a month and about 11 times a year. However, guppies need to rest for a long time after 11 consecutive births before they can continue to reproduce. Guppies can give birth to 10 to 120 small fish at a time, and their sexual maturity is very early, after three to four months of normal feeding, the new small fish can continue to reproduce. Their amazing reproductive capacity has led them to be nicknamed "million fish".

2. Precautions

for guppy production 1. Before and after guppy production, the PH change of water body should not exceed 0.5.

2. After the mother fish is born, the mother fish must be fished out of the fish tank in time and raised for another three days before being put back into the original tank. This can prevent the female fish from eating the newborn young fish, and also prevent the female fish from being chased by the male fish.

3. Female fish need to rest for a long time after 11 consecutive births before they can continue to reproduce. They can reproduce about 22-25 times in a lifetime.

4. When breeding guppies, we should also pay attention to avoiding inbreeding. There should be no more than three generations of the same parent fish, otherwise it will easily reduce the quality of the new fish, cause the degradation of the species, and reduce the ornamental value of the fish.
