Guppies are sensitive to changes in the environment around them. If the water quality fluctuates strongly or the water temperature changes significantly over a period of time, they may jump out of the tank. When raised with other species of fish, if some large fish bite them, it will also cause them to jump the tank. In addition, if the breeding density is too high, or some other reasons lead to lack of oxygen in the fish tank, which seriously affects their normal breathing, it will also cause them to jump.
Why does the guppy jump into the tank and how to solve it

1. Why guppies jump

1. Although the temperature of guppies changes with the surrounding environment and their adaptability is strong, they are still unable to respond to sudden changes in the surrounding environment in a timely manner. When changes in the environment directly stimulate the nerves of guppies, their conditioned reflex response is to jump out of the tank. Changes in water flow, changes in water temperature, changes in water quality and changes in lighting may cause guppies to jump tanks.

2. When there is a bigger fish in the tank than the guppy, which will directly threaten the guppy, they will be afraid. If the big fish chase them often and want to prey on them, they will want to jump the tank.

2. How to solve the problem

of guppy jumping tank 1. When raising guppies, do not change the water source and filter material too frequently, nor change the speed of water flow frequently.

2. Try to breed guppies of the same size in the tank, and the size difference should not be too big.

3. Prepare a fish tank of appropriate size and volume, rather than too small. Add oxygenation equipment produced by regular manufacturers to the fish tank, which is in line with the equipment of guppies raised at home, to provide sufficient oxygen supply.

4. Reduce or increase the number of guppies without replacing the fish tank.
