Guppy Care:
Feeding: Feed flake food twice a day. Add variety to their diet by including frozen and freeze-dried foods such as bloodworms, tubifex worms, and brine shrimp a few times a week.
Temperature: 75-80 Fahrenheit/ 24-28 degrees Celsius.
Habitat: Recommended tank size is 10 gallons or more. The minimum that we would recommend is 5 gallons.
You will need to use a filter on guppy aquariums.
The general rule is 1 gallon per guppy. When keeping guppies, it's best to have a ratio of 3:1 females to males.
They love to hide and swim through plants. You can add both live plants and artificial plants to an aquarium full of guppies. They also like to hide in caves, which are also great for guppy fry to hide in.
Guppies prefer a pH of neutral (7.0)- (7.2).
Sexing: Here are some pictures to easily show you the difference between male and female guppies.
