-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 10 gallons for a small group of guppies. Larger tanks are better for multiple fish.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C), a pH level of 6.8-7.8, and moderately hard water. Regular water changes are important.
-
Filtration: Use gentle filtration to ensure good water quality and oxygenation. Guppies don't tolerate strong currents.
-
Aquascape: Create an environment with live or artificial plants, driftwood, and hiding spots. Guppies enjoy a well-decorated tank with ample swimming space.
-
Tank Mates: Guppies are peaceful and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive community fish. Be cautious about mixing them with fin-nipping species.
-
Diet: They are omnivores and accept a diet that includes high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.
-
Breeding: Guppies are prolific breeders. If you want to control their population, consider separate breeding tanks or only keep one gender.
