The most correct way of keeping guppy

As one of the most common species of tropical fish, guppy not only has outstanding body shape and super colorful body color, but also its price is very cheap, so it is highly favored and liked by the majority of fish enthusiasts, it is said that many aquaculture masters start from keeping guppy.

People who have raised guppy feel that guppy is relatively easy to raise, mainly pay attention to these three parts:

Water temperature

As we all know, fish first water, water is the key to fish and fundamental, so what is the guppy on the water temperature requirements? guppy’s adaptability is relatively strong, so the water requirements are not very high, usually live in the 18-24 ℃ in the water temperature can be, in general, the indoor room temperature can meet the requirements of its water temperature, but in winter or But in winter, it is better to use the heater, and it is better to control the water temperature at about 22 degrees, a little higher does not matter, which will promote the guppy’s activity, and it can also strengthen its body function resistance!

Bait

There are two types of bait for guppy, one is artificial feed sold in the market and the other is live bait. There are many types of artificial feeds available on the market and they are divided into three types: flake feeds, pellet feeds and frozen feeds. However, since this type of feed involves safety issues, it is best to prioritize live bait in terms of bait. So what are the best and safest live baits?

The best live bait is silk earthworms. On the one hand, the nutritional value of earthworms is very high, and can survive for a long time, will promote the peacock does not eat, so as to strengthen the growth rate of guppy long; on the other hand, earthworms can be used as medicine bait, will be fed to the first medicine to the earthworms into the medicine lead, and then given to guppy to eat, the effect is quite good. So earthworms should be the most perfect feed, but there is one thing that fish friends should pay special attention to, because earthworms are in the wild survival, although the aquarium will be sterilized and disinfected, but it is not inevitable that there will be some parasites left in its body, so fish friends in the feeding time is best to do a little processing.

Secondly, it is the Toyon shrimp (articulated larvae), right? Here is a special note: Hatching Toyon shrimp eggs do not need to be prepared for too long, nor do they require much formalities, but after hatching, they should be fed as soon as possible, otherwise their nutritional value will be slightly discounted. However, if you have extra hatched shrimp, you can freeze them, and the next time you want to feed them, just thaw them out and use them.

Feeding

For the feeding of newborn peacock larvae, it is not recommended to throw too many portions of bait to avoid contaminating the water by not being able to finish the small fish. Usually, before the sex of the peacock is separated, try to feed high protein food, but after the male and female fish can be separated, remember not to let the male fish eat too much high protein food, and the female fish can be fed as much as possible to make the female fish’s body shape become more rounded. However, fish lovers should be reminded that if the number of feeding increases, the frequency of water changes should be increased to avoid water quality deterioration too fast, resulting in the breeding of diseases and jeopardizing the guppy.

For adult guppy, they will like every kind of feed, but don’t feed the same kind of feed for a long time to avoid single unbalanced nutrition and affect the growth rate of guppy. In addition, you should always feed some live bait to strengthen the guppy’s nutrition.
