Theguppies
(Poecilia reticulata), also known as millionfish and rainbow fish, is one of the world\'s most widely distributed tropical fish, and one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species. It is a member of the family Poeciliidae and, like almost all American members of the family, is live-bearing. Guppies, whose natural range is in northeast South America, were introduced to many habitats and are now found all over the world. They are highly adaptable and thrive in many different environmental and ecological conditions. Male guppies, which are smaller than females, have ornamental caudal and dorsal fins. Wild guppies generally feed on a variety of food sources, including benthic algae and aquatic insect larvae. Guppies are used as a model organism in the fields of ecology, evolution, and behavioural studies.
Guppies exhibit sexual dimorphism. While wild-type females are grey in body color, males have splashes, spots, or stripes that can be any of a wide variety of colors. The size of guppies vary, but males are typically 1.5–3.5 cm (0.6–1.4 in) long, while females are 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) long.
Guppies vary in size, with the males normally being smaller at 1.5-3.5 cm in length. Female guppies range in size from 3-6 cm in length. Males can have brightly coloured spots or stripes as well as other markings as a result of selective breeding, while females are usually grey in colour. Offspring of guppies are called fry and are live-born and self sufficient right away.
Are Guppies Good For Beginners?
Guppies mature within 10-20 weeks and can live up to 2 years, in that time females can have many broods of fry. Lifespan in the wild differs from that of a live tank, but depending on the dynamics of the aquarium guppies can live slightly longer than in the wild.
With a well planned out aquarium that has plenty of rocks and vegetation, guppies can be a great addition. Be careful of predator fish within the tank however, and make sure the guppies have plenty of hiding spots for themselves and their fry. Guppies have also been known for infanticide, so make sure your guppies are well fed and not crowded, as these are common reasons for them to do it. With the proper knowledge and care, guppies make a great addition to any tank.
GUPPIES DIET
Guppies DietGuppies eat a wide variety of foods in the wild, including algae and water insect larvae. In a home aquarium though, you want to feed your guppies a combination of foods. By feeding them a quality flake food designed for tropical fish, you can enhance the colour of your guppy. But if that isn’t important to you, any quality flake food should be fine for them. We recommend you get the best possible food for your fish. You might want to stay away from pellet style food as it can be too large for a guppies’ mouth. Guppies can have a wide variety of foods and it is recommended you incorporate other options besides the flakes to keep them healthy.Guppies will eat a variety of freeze dried foods, you might want to think about including things like; brine shrimp, bloodworms or daphnia. These foods will give your guppy some variety and if you are thinking of breeding, a varied diet will deter them from eating their own fry. You can offer these as a live food instead of freeze dried. Live foods are more nutritious however live foods do carry a risk of transferring disease to your tank.It’s important not to over feed your guppies as well. They have very small stomachs, so by over feeding you can potentially block their intestines causing them distress. You’re guppy should be fed only a couple of times a day, and only in very small amounts. Also, take notice of the tank temperature. Guppies will eat less in cooler temperatures as their metabolism slows. Monitor their eating habits and only provide them with what they can eat at one feeding, leaving food floating in the tank will not only encourage over eating, but will also rot and pollute the water. It’s a good idea therefore to remove any leftovers once feeding is over. A good schedule is usually flakes in the morning and then a live or freeze dried food or vegetable in the evening. This will ensure your guppies stay healthy and happy and potentially lengthen their lifespan.
GUPPIES PREFERRED TANK CONDITIONSWhen thinking about getting guppies on their own there is a lot to consider when putting together a comfortable tank for them. The most common size is a 10 gallon tank. It isn’t too big, and a nice starter size. If you try a tank smaller than 10 gallon it will be difficult to keep clean because it won’t be able to cycle water efficiently enough. You will want to make sure your guppies have a lot of hiding places, so make sure you decorate the aquarium with lots of plants and ornaments. But be careful of anything with a sharp edge, there is the chance they might damage their delicate fins. You’ll also want to make sure that there is a least 2 inches of gravel on the bottom of the tank. This will not only look nice but helps to filter the water as well. Keep the water at a comfortable temperature as you risk killing your guppies if the water temperature is too hot or too cold. Room temperature is ideal.
BREEDING GUPPIESIf you are thinking about breeding guppies there are a few things you need to know to get started. First you should consider whether you are breeding as a hobby or with more intent. Casual breeding won’t be as involved and will allow you to go slowly and have fun. However, a more professional breeding takes careful planning and resources.
First consider the environment you will be breeding them in. Will you let nature take its course in their regular home tank as a casual breeder, or will you set up a special breeding tank to carefully control the breeding? If you will set up a breeding tank you should make sure it’s fairly large and gives ample space for breeding. It should be similar to the home tank so as not to stress them, but make mating easy. You can carefully choose the guppies you will breed for color, size or any other feature think is interesting or important. You will also need to have a few tanks to accommodate breeding pairs as well as some small tanks for the fry.
When accessorizing the tanks there are a few important things to have. Having a breeding trap is an important accessory. These are a small trap that is hung in the breeding tank. It has two compartments separated by a slotted wall, so when the female is ready to give birth, the fry can safely swim to the other compartment, preventing the female from eating them, the last thing you want when breeding is for the female to eat the fry. Also make sure the lighting and temperature match in all tanks, this way there is less stress and more chance of success. You’ll also want to make sure you have a really good filtration system. Even though guppies are fairly clean, fry are very susceptible to pollution in the water, so to make sure they stay healthy it’s important to maintain good water conditions. You should also make sure you have good aeration as well. A good air pump is important to move the water and get the oxygen flowing in. You can also add live plants, not only will they help oxygenate but they will provide a food source and a hiding place for the fry as well.
