How to raise guppies with small fish?
First of all, when guppies produce small fish, adult fish and small fish should be raised separately, otherwise the small fish may be eaten by big fish.
Secondly, we know that a stable water environment is very important for fish. Therefore, even if adult guppies and young guppies are raised separately, it is best to raise them with the water from the original fish tank.
Third, the female fish should strengthen nutrition in the feeding process, and it is best to feed some live food, such as Daphnia. Small fish can feed egg yolk water from the next day. Be careful not to feed too much. After 5 days, dried fish can be fed, of course, it needs to be ground into powder. After 5 days, you can feed Daphnia filtered with dense gauze instead.
It is worth noting that the mother fish should not rush to change water after giving birth to small fish. The mother fish may die because she can't adapt to the new water. You can raise the mother fish with raw water for a few days first, and then try to change the water for the mother fish after it is stable.
Precautions for protecting raw guppy:
1, small fish should be packed in smaller containers, which are too big for small fish to eat.
You can feed small fish with chopped water worms or broken egg yolks. Although egg yolk is ideal, it will pollute the water quality. Suggest feeding less.
3. Little guppies don't need to change water. If the water is not changed well, it is easy to prick the tail. Just change the water once a week. Don't change the water too often. If you use tap water when changing water, you should expose the water to the sun for three days and sprinkle some salt every time to prevent diseases.
4, the water temperature should be constant, don't always change, the small fish is very weak, and can't stand the temperature difference of more than 2 degrees when changing water. It is recommended to buy a heating rod and adjust the water temperature to 24~26 degrees.
5, small fish, etc. When can the female be separated? Otherwise, the mother fish is born too early, which is not conducive to her growth. Close the cylinder for at least 2-3 months. 4. Inbreeding will lead to degeneration and deformity, but the first generation is not obvious, and the second and third generations will be obvious. It is suggested that the second generation is fine, but the third generation is not.
Precursor of guppies giving birth to small fish
When the mother fish is about to be born, there are some special features, which can be used to put the mother fish to be born in the cat litter box:
1, the abdomen of the female fish expands greatly, forming a square at the fetal spot.
2, began to pull black stool, defecation is thicker.
3, do not like to eat.
4. Always stand aside quietly and expel other fish nearby.
It is obvious that the barrel door is a little protruding.
6. The gluteal fin will contract and the tail will tilt up from time to time.
The precursor of guppies giving birth to small fish is that the fetal spots are obviously black. You can almost see the eyes of small fish (the translucent area of abdomen above the gluteal fin), the anus is protruding, and the stomach has a concave and convex feeling. You will definitely hold small fish in three or two days. If it doesn't hold, add a small amount of cold water to reduce the water temperature of the production tank by 1~2 degrees and stimulate production. Generally speaking, fertilized females can give birth to young fish within 28 days, but in summer, the pregnancy time will be shortened by about three weeks.
