    Hello: It's normal, it doesn't matter, guppies like to be active in the upper layers of the water, a dozen small fish will not lack oxygen, in addition, small fish have to be fed often, they are easily hungry. Earthworms for hard-boiled egg yolks or water crushed with toothpicks.

    If the water temperature is kept at 24 degrees, it will grow faster and the color will be more vivid. Good luck with your fish farming! o(∩_o

    The guppies just laid down the calf total surface due to the following reasons:

    1.Guppy calves may be breathing air, which makes them need to stay in the upper layers of the water.

    2.The guppy calves may be looking for food and will therefore float to the surface.

    3.The water temperature may be too low or too high, which can affect the normal behavior of the guppy cubs.

    4.Guppy calves may have contracted a disease that prevents them from swimming or breathing properly.

    5.Guppy calves may be disturbed by the external environment, such as water currents, sounds, etc., which may cause them to be unable to swim or perch properly.

    If you notice that your guppy cubs are constantly floating on the surface, the following is recommended:

    1.Check the water quality to ensure that the water is normal, such as transparency, pH, and oxygen content.

    2.Make sure the water temperature is right and avoid it being too low or too high.

    3.Increase the amount of feed appropriately to ensure that the guppy calves receive adequate nutrition.

    4.Avoid excessive interference with the living environment of guppies, and reduce external disturbances such as water flow and sound.

    If the above measures do not improve the condition of the guppy cubs, it is recommended to transfer them to a new environment for isolation observation to avoid being affected by other factors. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the regular replacement of water to maintain clean water quality.

    Guppies. I love to live on the surface of the water, and small fish are even more so. If the glass bottle is too small, you should also pay attention to whether it is hypoxia, you can try to change some water, if the small fish is not much on the surface of the water, it means that it is hypoxia before, if the small fish is still on the surface of the water, then it is nothing.

    Lack of oxygen is not necessarily a lack of oxygen, but it may also be a lack of other oxygen in the water quality.

    Poor water quality in the fish tank: The poor water quality in the fish tank will directly lead to a large number of guppies sinking at the bottom of the water and not moving, and if the water is not replaced in time, it is likely to lead to the death of a large number of guppies, so during this period, you only need to observe the state of the fish in the whole fish tank, and at the same time visually measure the water quality, which should be replaced in time.

    Temperature difference change, if there is a temperature change, it will also cause the guppy not to like to swim, which is usually caused by the temperature drop, the temperature difference change may also cause guppy frostbite or cold, etc., if in winter, it is better to bury the skin in a mild place as soon as possible.

    Guppies may have been swimming on the surface of the water because the feed they are feeding is floating and the fish are looking for food. As long as there is no food on the surface, the fish will not be on the surface of the water. It is also possible that the density of the fish in the tank is too large, causing the fish to lack oxygen and float on the surface of the water.

    It is also possible that the fish swims on the surface because they have bacterial mumps and have difficulty breathing. In addition, if the fish is infected with parasites, its body cannot maintain its balance and it will remain on the surface of the water.

    1. Guppies may have been swimming on the surface of the water because they are fed floating feed, and the fish are looking for food on the water. As long as there is no food on the surface, the fish will not always be on the surface.

    2. Guppies may have been upstream on the surface of the water because the density of the fish in the tank is too large, resulting in a lack of oxygen for the fish and floating on the surface.

    3. Guppies have been swimming on the surface of the water may be because the fish have bacterial mumps, which causes the fish to have difficulty breathing and swim on the surface.

    4. If the fish is infected with parasites, causing the fins to fester, the body can not maintain balance, and it will also appear on the surface of the water and swim all the time.

    Guppies are always swimming on the surface, and the first thing farmers need to consider is whether there is a problem with the water temperature, water quality and feeding. Eliminate these and then go to the root cause. If it is because of the floating feed, the farmer can switch to the sinking feed.

    If it is due to a lack of oxygen, farmers can solve it by changing the water or applying oxygen. If it's because the fish has bacterial mumps. Metronidazole** can be used.

    If it is because of an infection with a parasite. You can soak the diseased fish with potassium permanganate for 5 minutes, and put oxytetracycline in the original tank to reduce inflammation and sterilization. Wait for three days to start changing the water and recuperate slowly.

    The fish that the guppy has just laid is an egg under the microscope and is not moving.

    2. It is best to have filtration in the tank for raising guppy larvae to ensure the cleanliness and oxygen content of the water quality;

    3. The best food is fish insects or fish feed, and you can also feed twisted egg yolks, and the principle of fish larvae feeding is to eat less and eat more;

    4. A bright environment can enhance the appetite of the fish, and it is best to have natural light, and no natural light is supplemented with lights;

    5. The temperature of the fish water should not be too low, it is best to have more than 20 degrees.

    Hypoxia: Guppies floating on the surface of the water may be due to lack of oxygen, at this time, the keeper should timely oxygen or change the water to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Poor water quality:

    If the water quality is too poor, the guppies will also float on the surface of the water, so the keeper should change the water in time and ensure that the water quality is weakly alkaline. Normal reaction: Guppies are pelagic fish and like to swim on the surface of the water, so they sometimes float naturally on the surface.

    If there are no other symptoms, it can be left untreated. <

    1. Reason: If the guppy floats on the surface of the water and keeps opening its mouth wide to breathe, it is a lack of oxygen. There are many reasons for hypoxia, such as poor water quality, low air pressure, and reduced dissolved oxygen in the water, etc., which will make guppies have symptoms of hypoxia, and the keeper needs to judge according to the actual situation.

    2. Solution: If it is confirmed that it is due to lack of oxygen, you can change the water first to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, and you can also change the water quality in the fish tank. Then install an oxygen pump and turn it on for 3-4 hours a day to meet the demand for oxygen for guppies.

    1. Reason: If the water quality in the tank is too poor, guppies will always float on the surface of the water because they want to escape the environment.

    2. Solution: The breeder needs to change the water in time to ensure that the water is slightly alkaline. The amount of water change does not need to be too large, and it can be controlled at one-third.

    1. Reason: Guppies like to move near the surface of the water because they are pelagic fish. If a guppy has been swimming on the surface of the water but has no other symptoms, it is normal.

    2. Solution: It is normal for guppies to move on the water surface. Keepers can observe for other symptoms, such as breathing heavily, skipping the tank, etc. If not, you don't need to deal with them, just wait for them to recover on their own.

Hiding in the gaps, swimming faster, darkening the body color mixed in the aquatic plants so that the big fish can't see, the slow ones are eaten, there are also different physiques, and the ability to survive is also different, because the guppies are small, and the big fish are easy to be swallowed, and the survival rate is relatively low even if they are not eaten, it is recommended not to be with the big fish. May your fish be healthy and lively.
