The growth of millions of fish, the explosion of the tank happened like this

Guppy is a special existence in the ornamental fish world. It is small in size, bright in color, numerous in strains, has a large space for transformation, and has strong reproductive ability, which not only conforms to its ornamental quality as an ornamental fish, but also easily experiences the sense of achievement in the game from its reproduction. When such a small fish has better disease resistance, it satisfies the conditions for becoming a hit.

What is the experience of raising a tank of guppies? After the baby fish comes out of the mother's belly, it needs to be separated from the mother to avoid being eaten. For the first two weeks in the breeding tank, they need to be fed with egg yolk and brine shrimp. These nutritious foods can help them grow from the size of soybeans, little by little. By the time they can leave the breeding tank, it will be 15 days later. Then these little guys can reach about 1.5cm, which is almost the length of a medium button.

Generally speaking, the water quality of the breeding tank is basically the same as the water quality of the main tank, but the temperature may be a little higher than that of the main tank. In order to avoid unnecessary loss caused by the obvious temperature difference, you can do a simple over-temperature and over-water.

Guppies are tropical fish. It is more appropriate to keep the temperature of the fish tank at about 25 °C. The pH can be between 6.5-7.5, and the hardness can be between 10-15. Keep the light in the tank for 2 hours or more to help with color.

If there is no problem with the living environment, you can usually see the color of the small fish in about a month. Males color first, females later. And with the passage of time, the body color difference between male and female fish will become more and more obvious. Of course, if you don't want to identify male and female ornamental fish only by body color, there are other ways to identify them.

First, the difference between the two can be seen from the reproductive organs. The fins behind the anus of the guppy have pointed and rounded heads. The pointed ones are males and the round ones are females.

Secondly, the state of the fetal spot can also distinguish the male and female guppies. If the front part of the anal fin of the guppy has a transparent feeling, it can be judged as a female fish, otherwise it is a male fish.

With the passage of time, the small fish grow slowly, and about two months are considered sub-adult. Breeding occurs in about three months. The first few times of breeding will not produce too many small fish, and one breeding may only produce a dozen small fish. Of course, not all of these small fish survive. Some are stillborn, and some are deformed after birth. After three or four reproductions, the reproductive capacity of guppies will gradually improve, from a dozen small fish at a time to dozens.

So after three or four months, the offspring finally began to have the ability to reproduce. From mating to reproduction, it took 21-25 days. During this period, the belly of the female fish will become larger and larger, and dark spots will appear in the later stage of development. The female fish should be isolated before breeding, and slowly wait for the baby fish to be born. After the baby fish is born, the mother fish should be fished out to prevent the mother fish from eating the baby fish.

It is best not to put the fish out of the main tank directly, you can keep it in a temporary tank for two days to adjust the state. Because once the female is in the tank, the male will continue chasing the female. We can also judge the reproductive cycle of guppies from this, which is basically once a month. Of course, if the temperature is low or the water quality fluctuates greatly, it will affect the reproductive cycle of guppies.

Guppies are considered adults after 6 months of birth. The maximum body length of adult peacocks can reach 6 cm. Most of them can live for about two years. However, with some complicated factors, some can only live for a little more than a year before dying. .

Guppies spend most of their lives reproducing. It has a short breeding cycle, high efficiency, and a large number. It may explode in the later stage. The aquarist who deeply felt its terrifying reproductive ability chose the domineering name for it: Million Fish.

This is the guppy, which is kept in a tank and dedicated to reproduction throughout its life. Although there are many descendants, they cannot escape the short-lived attributes inherited from the killifish family. When it dies in the world, leaving behind a full tank of offspring, will anyone feel sad for it, like the death of Luohan fish and dragon fish?
