Here you get a pure mixed Female group.

Guppies are popular aquarium fish and old hands in aquaristics. Their easy keeping and breeding make them especially popular. The Guppy is quite closely related to the Endler Guppy and capable of producing fertile hybrids, so it is better not to keep these two together. Because they are also very sociable best give them their Group from at least 3 Animals.

The Socialization is also possible with other livebearers. Corydoras are also suitable for this purpose, Tetras, Danios, Loricariid catfish but also bigger shrimps like the Amano shrimp or Fan shrimp. With well reproducing dwarf shrimp species like Neocaridina the guppy also gets along well, even if it occasionally eats a careless juvenile - for this reason a good planting is advantageous. It is better not to keep them together with crayfish, because guppies sleep on the bottom and can be nastily pinched in the soft fins.

Especially because of their larger fins and more bright colors you can distinguish the Males from the females from the femalesbecause the latter grow a little bit bigger and stay behind their partners in color. Breeding is not difficult, which is why guppies are also called "million fish". Females can even, once fertilized, store the sperm for a while and fertilize themselves several times fertilize themselves several timesthis is why it is possible that even in an all-female group, young may appear from time to time. Because the parents chase their young chase after their youngthe number of offspring will be reduced naturally. If you want to prevent this, you can keep the guppies in pure male gender, this does not detract from their charm.

The omnivore can be fed in the aquarium super with usual granulated food, dry food and flake food for omnivorous ornamental fish. Different kinds of live and frozen food like Tubifex, various  Mosquito larvaebut also Daphniagrindalworms or Artemia round off his menu. Since guppies also tug at algae, you can spoil them now and then with soaked zucchini chips, pumpkin chips and algae leaves.
