    The mouth of the guppy is too small, it is highly recommended to feed the crushed pellets, otherwise the slightly larger particles will not be able to eat and sink to the bottom of the water and will be easy to mix with water

    It is also better to feed the fish in smaller meals and more often, a little bit at a time, and several times a day. I am talking about small grains, if the grains are too big, one grain can be fed for a day.

    If the water becomes turbid, change it, and if it does not become turbid, it will not be used to change it.

    There are 16 fish tanks in my house, and the output of fish feces is huge, generally changed once every 4-7 days, if you only have 2, you can learn from my grandma, my grandma raised 4, and it was changed only once in nearly 2 weeks.

    My grandmother and I have aquatic plants and small rocks under the fish tank, and with these two things, the speed of muddy water will slow down

The order of feeding should also be noted, the bait needs to be fed first, and then the harvest shrimp can be fed for a long time, so that the harvest shrimp can stay in the intestine for a long time, so as to be better absorbed.

    At the adult stage, you can choose to feed synthetic bait, which is easier to feed and has a higher nutrient content. Artificial bait can be fed with live bait. Note that before feeding live bait, it should be cleaned before feeding.

    Guppies are fed differently at different stages. If it is a juvenile, feed the fish as much as it can eat in 10 minutes. Because juveniles are the stage when their nutritional and food needs are highest, it is important to keep them as full as possible during this period.

    If it is an adult guppy, it is enough to feed it in 5 minutes at a time. At this time, guppies do not need to be fed much food, they only need to be fed until they are 7 full. If you feed too much, it is easy to pollute the water quality.

    Juvenile guppies can be fed 3-4 times a day, once a day at 7-8 a.m., 11-12 p.m., 3 p.m., and again after 6 p.m. if you have time. Adult fish don't need to be fed so often, you can feed 2-3 times a day, you can choose to feed once at 9-10 am and once at 2-3 pm. However, the specific feeding time is best decided according to the habits and temperature of the guppies.

    Because of different water temperatures and water quality, guppies have different habits.

    Guppies can be fed more in the juvenile stage, the amount of each feeding can be eaten within 10 minutes, if there is residual bait, you can not fish out. Because the demand for food and nutrients is very high during the period when guppies are juvenile, it is best for breeders to let the guppies be full and eat well, and the food can choose nutritious and easy-to-digest harvest shrimp.

    Guppies should be fed less after adulthood, the amount of each feeding can be eaten within 5 minutes, and it is best to feed until 7 is full, because the nutritional needs of guppies after adulthood will be relatively reduced, and if there is more food to be fed, it is easy to burden the stomach.

    Precautions related to feeding guppies

    Usually, the food we feed guppies mainly consists of artificially formulated small fish bait feed, generally pellet feed, flake feed, etc.

    These feeds are generally a few dollars a bag, the nutrition is average, and there is no live food rich in nutrients, but some dry bait is mixed with anti-bacterial drugs, which is very helpful for the healthy growth of fish. However, the bait should not be too much, which is easy to cause turbidity.

    Always feed dry bait, and you will find that the growth rate of the fish is very slow, which requires the use of live bait to spice up. The nutrient content of live bait is many times higher than that of artificial bait, which is equivalent to the difference between eating biscuits and eating a big meal every day.

    The main live bait for feeding guppies is: water earthworms.

    silkworms), water fleas, and shrimps.

    Wait, I've also fed mosquito larvae, just be aware that the larvae are likely to hatch mosquitoes.

    Although live bait is good, we must pay attention to the health of live bait and the safety of feeding. Don't buy it back, just feed it directly to the guppies, because the live bait is a lot of parasites.

    If not properly treated, guppies will suffer from various parasitic diseases after eating these live bait with parasites, and their health will be threatened.

    Before feeding, the live bait should be sterilized and disinfected, and the disinfection must be thorough and comprehensive to prevent the presence of parasite eggs in the live bait. At the same time, when buying live bait, we should also pay attention to the quality, and try not to obtain live bait in the wild or other ditches with poor sanitation. Once a guppy is infected with a disease, it will not only affect the beauty of the fish, but also may cost its life.

    Feeding guppies should be regular and quantitative, and the food fed each time should not be too much, and the bait should not remain in the fish tank. Because the residual bait will breed bacteria or rot after death after soaking for a long time, polluting and destroying the environment in which guppies live.

    Notes:

    1. At the beginning of breeding, do not feed on the first day, and wait until the second day to feed.

    2. Water temperature is the key factor affecting the growth and development of guppies, and the water temperature should generally be controlled at about 25 °C.

    3. The water should not be changed frequently during the feeding period, and the water quality is not turbid, so it does not need to be replaced.

    5. When feeding solid pellet feed, it should be crushed, so that the feed will be soaked soft after being put into water.

    6. When changing the water, it should be noted that the temperature difference should not be too large, and the water temperature change must not exceed plus or minus 2.

    7. When the larvae are small and large, if you can get small bloodworms or cultured "gray water" (including paramecium) to feed, the effect is usually more ideal, but do not feed more.

    If it is a guppy baby, you can feed it every 2-3 hours. If it is an adult fish, it can be fed 2-3 times a day.

    The timing and amount of guppies to feed depends on different age stages. There is also a difference between large and small fish in the choice of food. Guppy juveniles can choose to be fed every 2-3 hours or 3-5 times a day.

    Because juvenile guppies eat less and digest faster. At this stage, if you can give your baby guppies enough food and nutrients, they will develop very quickly.

    Guppy adults can choose to be fed 2-3 times a day, and the best feeding time is 7-8 in the morning, 11-12 at noon, and 3-4 in the afternoon. If you don't have time, you can choose to feed at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. It should be noted that try not to feed guppies after 4 p.m., because they will rest at night and eat too much in the afternoon to easily indigestion.

    What food is good for guppies?

    1. Small fish. Guppy small fish can be fed some egg yolks because egg yolks are easier to digest and more convenient to feed. However, egg yolks are easy to pollute water quality.

    You can also feed some eggs of shrimp, which are rich in nutrition, and are conducive to the digestion and absorption of small fish, and are also conducive to the defecation of small fish, which is very suitable for guppy juvenile food.

    2. Adult fish. Adult fish generally choose synthetic feed, because this feed is more convenient and the nutrients are relatively complete. Keepers can choose to feed artificial feed with live bait, note that live bait needs to be sterilized before feeding to guppies.

The landlord you are too careful, this is normal, not because they are blind, but just did not bite in, I raised salamanders when there is this kind of forehead, and if the landlord wants to change food, you might as well use tadpoles to try, catch some tadpoles and put down, he will go to catch and eat, and will not stain the water, if there is no food, you can cut the raw pork into small strips, hang in front of it and shake around, it will also eat. Personally, I don't think the dried worms are very good, and I have tried to put them in before eating a few, and the rest is all wasted, and the water is dirty.
