    <> newborn guppies are carefully raised.

    Guppies are a very popular ornamental fish, adult guppies are gorgeous and beautiful, and newborn guppies are always fragile, to ensure that the fish can grow up healthily, how to feed it has become the key. How do you feed a newborn guppy? This is a question that must be carefully studied as a breeder.

    Guppies are fed from the time they are born, and as a keeper, they have to be busy preparing a variety of food, because they can swim and forage soon after birth. When the female guppy is about to lay its eggs, it is important to start preparing food for the juveniles. When the baby fish are born, they can be fed with these foods, and of course, the young guppies can also have a good meal.

    There are also a few points to pay attention to when feeding newborn baby guppies: first, you must master the feeding time, do not start feeding the baby fish on the first day after birth, you can start feeding it from the second day. Note that the effects of the water environment on juveniles can be fatal, so ensuring a stable balance of water conditions (e.g. water temperature, pH, etc.) is key to ensuring that juveniles survive.

    Secondly, when feeding newborn guppies, special attention needs to be paid in the choice of food. If you want to use solid feed, then it is best to crush the feed first and then give it to the baby guppies. Finally, in the process of feeding guppies, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate amount, and generally ensure that the fish can eat the food in about 10 minutes.

    Remember, you can't eat too much or too little. If any abnormal situation is found during the guppies, they must be dealt with as soon as possible, and do not delay time, otherwise the guppies' lives may not be guaranteed. 

    Notes:

    First, the water temperature is very critical to the growth and development of the fish, the temperature of the guppy should be about 25, the small fish generally like the old water, as long as it is not too turbid do not change too diligently, feed 2 3 times a day, each time to eat within 20 minutes is better. Pay attention to clean up the manure and residue in time to avoid the high temperature and water quality deterioration in summer. 

    Second, there are several ways to feed:

    1. Feed paramecium, shrimp and earthworms. Shrimp can be hatched by buying eggs at a fish shop. 

    2. Egg yolk, you can crush it and wrap it in gauze, and shake it in the fish tank when feeding. You can also use a small portion to put it in the water. 

    3. Feed. If the feed for large fish is solid pellet feed, you can grind it and put it in water, the feed will be soaked softly, and the small fish can eat it. The larvae are relatively small, so it is ideal to catch small bloodworms or cultured 'grey water' (including paramecium) to feed, but do not feed too much to prevent water spoilage.

    3. When changing the water, it is necessary to pay attention to the difference between the water quality and the temperature, and the change in water temperature must not exceed plus or minus 2 degrees. Otherwise, something will happen to Xiaoyu. 

    Fourth, the small fish is weak, be careful not to let it get sick, if you are sick, you should immediately **, it is best to use special medicine. When the small fish is large enough, they can be raised like big fish.

    Take out the tap water, put it on the balcony for 24 hours, and add the dried water to two-thirds of the way when changing the water.

    Feed once every two to three days, and the amount of food you put in each time should be eaten in 5 minutes.

    The water temperature is controlled at about 25 degrees, and the small fish should be separated from the big fish when they are born, so as to prevent the big fish from eating the newly born small fish.

    Guppies, I've raised them, it's a very good fish, but.

    Guppies can be purchased in ornamental fish markets, purebred guppies are more expensive because of their strains ranging from about 10 to 30 yuan per pair, while hybrids or degraded species are generally cheaper, generally 1 3 yuan per pair. Purebred guppies generally have better traits, such as larger individuals, large and stretched caudal and dorsal fins, pure flower colors, and distinctive characteristics. Hybrids or degraded species, on the other hand, tend to sell guppies in the main tank with more heterogeneous and different colors and shapes.

    For friends who are new to raising tropical fish, it is more cost-effective to buy hybrids and degraded species, and it is not too late to raise pure breeds after having a certain amount of breeding experience. There are also many outstanding individuals in the hybrids, and the flowers are relatively rich, and through their own careful breeding, they may be able to breed new varieties with excellent traits. The key when purchasing is to select males, try to choose individuals with larger individuals, larger tail fins and stretched, and lively swimmers, and females try to choose mature individuals with large individuals and lively swimming.

    After the guppies are selected, they can be raised in the fish tank, and the next thing is the erbium problem. Guppies do not have high requirements for erbium feed, and can generally use daphnia, worms or pellet feed. These erbium materials can be purchased from ornamental fish markets or specialty stores for flowers, birds, fish and insects.

    Among the above three erbium materials, guppies are more fond of daphnia (live), followed by silk worms, and again with erbium, but there are exceptions, if the quality of the erbium is high, it may be more beneficial to guppies. Because live erbium material is not easy to store, it is basically necessary to cooperate with erbium material. Usually, you can feed as much live erbium as possible, if you are busy with work and can't take care of buying live erbium, you can use erbium to meet the emergency.

    Compared with the live water silk worm, because of its survival time, the water silk worm is generally used more, and the water silk worm can be placed in a more poured container, put in the water that has just not been the water silk worm, and insist on changing the water once a day, so that the water silk worm can survive for a long time. Each time you throw erbium, you should not throw too much erbium, just eat enough, to prevent too much erbium, fish gluttony, affect growth, and even residual erbium in the water decomposition and corrupt water quality, so that fish get sick.

    In the process of breeding, do not change the water frequently, because the water environment changes too much, it will cause fish discomfort and even fish diseases. Generally, when the water in the aquarium is not too dirty, it is enough to change the water once a week, and do not change all the water when changing the water, but only change 1 4 1 3, and do not exceed 1 2 at most. The optimal living water temperature for guppies is 18 24, and in the absence of heating facilities, the general room temperature can meet its requirements well.

    Hope you can adopt, thanks, hope to help you.

    There are a few things to keep in mind when feeding guppies:

    1. Water temperature: The acceptable water temperature of guppies is from 18 to 34, if it is lower than 18, it is more likely to have some conditions, such as: loss of appetite, mental dysentery, and also easy to be infected with diseases such as water mold, so you can decide whether to use a heater according to your personal situation.

    2. Feeding environment: When you plan to raise fish, you need to buy a fish tank, clean it first, and then soak it in salt water to set up a filtration device, and buy your favorite guppies, it is best not to put it into the fish tank all at once, the correct way to deal with it is to soak it in the water for a period of time, and then put it into the fish tank when the fish adapts to your water temperature.

    3. Water change: Usually the tap water is aerated for a few days before the water change to wait for the volatilization of harmful substances. Guppies are not very demanding on water quality, but there is still a range of adaptation, usually guppies are best to adjust the pH value to nearly neutral weak acidity or weak alkaline, guppy breeding will be much easier.

    4. Feed: Generally, guppies have two kinds of feed to choose from: artificial feed and live bait.

    Artificial feed: At present, the artificial feed sold on the market is roughly divided into three types: 1. Flake feed;2. Pellet feed;3. Frozen feed.

    These feeds are among the easiest to obtain and easiest to feed, and there are also feeds specifically developed for anchovies, which should be the staple food of most anchovy owners, and the nutritional composition is quite complete.

    Correct guppy feeding methods: water temperature, bait, isolated culture.

    1. Accompany the water temperature: the adaptability of guppies is relatively strong, so the requirements for water are not very high, usually live in the water temperature of 18-24, under normal circumstances, the indoor room temperature can meet its requirements for water temperature. If you want a guppy to give birth, you need to control the water temperature, and you need to strictly control the water temperature in the fish tank, 26 degrees is the most suitable.

    2. Bait: It is best to feed in the middle of the fish tank when feeding, and generally feed some water lice, silk earthworms, shrimp and artificial breeding as bait, and it is recommended to feed seven points full each time. Artificial feed is roughly divided into three types: flake feed, pellet feed, and frozen feed.

    3. Isolated breeding: due to the complexity of guppy strains and varieties, it is easy to cause confusion in reproduction when the male and female guppies of different strains are mixed together, so in order to obtain pure offspring, different varieties of guppies should be isolated and cultured in accordance with the requirements of reproduction.
