Guppies can fight. Because of the different species, each species will fight for territory. They will also fight because of their size and follow the survival of the fittest in nature, which is also a natural phenomenon. Once they reach estrus, their tempers will be more irritable, and males may fight with other males for mates. In addition, if the tank volume is too small, some guppies will lose their territory, resulting in depressed emotions, and then fight with other fish for territory.
Can guppies fight? How to prevent guppies from fighting?

1. Can guppies fight

? 1. Guppies fight because of different species. Different species of guppies may compete for territory, resulting in race-to-race fights. Therefore, when breeding, we should pay attention not to mix at will, make sure that the space is sufficient, different species can live in peace, in order to mix.

2. Guppies will rank the survival of the fittest in the tank because of their size, and they will be ranked in turn by rank. If there is a shortage of food or space, big fish may bully small fish for these resources.

3. When guppies are in heat, males may fight over females.

2. How to prevent guppies from fighting

1. Change a fish tank with a relatively large space: Guppies have a strong sense of domain. Changing a fish tank with a relatively large space allows each guppy to have its own private space, so as to avoid their fighting for territory.

2. Separate different species of guppies: If different species of guppies are fighting, they can be separated and only the same species of guppies can be kept in the same tank.

3. Only one male in a tank: When guppies are in heat, only one male can be placed in each tank to prevent them from fighting for a mate.

4. Put guppies of similar size in the same tank: ensure that the fish in the tank are similar in size, which can prevent big fish from bullying small fish.
