Description: Young breeding trio (1 male, 2 females). These guppies have the docile gene meaning they are much less likley to eat there fry. Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are one of the most popular fish in the aquarium hobby because of their brilliant colors, lively personalities, and ease of breeding. Guppies grow to an average of 2 inches long, so the smallest tank size we recommend is a 5-gallon aquarium for a trio of guppies. But given how quickly they reproduce, a 10- or 20-gallon aquarium would be moreappropriate in the long run. If you plan on breeding them, start with a ratio of one male for every two to three females, and provide lots of cover (such as live aquarium plants) for the babies to hide in. Plus, use gentle filtration like asponge filterso that the tiny fry wont get sucked up. Like many livebearers, guppies enjoy pH levels at 7.0 or greater. They also like hard water with good amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other essential minerals. If you live off well water with high pH, youre going to become one of the best guppy breeders ever. However, if your water is naturally soft, addWonder Shellto your aquarium, and it will help raise your water hardness and add minerals to the tank. Anaquarium heateris recommended to keep the water warmer at 76 to 78F, since these new lines of fancy guppies are not as resilient as the original species found in the wild. At this temperature range, your guppies should have an average life span of two to three years. If you raise the heat to 82F, the fish will grow faster and make more babies but theyll only live for 18 months. If you lower the temperature to 72F instead, their life span may increase to 3.5 years or longer, but theyll take forever to reach adulthoodand may only have babies every six months. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ IF IT IS COLD in your area 72 and 96 hour heat packs are available for purchase to ensure your package arrives in the best possible condition.
