The colorful Guppy Mix is a great eye-catcher, which spices up your aquarium. The pure male group does not reproduce, so you do not have to fear a glut of young fish. But if you are interested in breeding, you will find the suitable Female guppies also in the store.
Here you get a pure Male group with different colors.
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, Tetra, Danios, Loricariid catfish but also bigger shrimps like the Amano shrimp or Fan shrimp. With well reproducing dwarf shrimp species like Neocaridina the guppy gets along well, even if it occasionally eats a careless juvenile - for this reason a good planting is advantageous.
With Crayfish 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. However, because the parents chase their young, the number of offspring is naturally reduced. 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 its menu. Since platies also tug at algae, you can spoil them now and then with soaked zucchini chips, pumpkin chips and algae leaves.
Our food recommendation: The fragrant NatureHolic Guppyfeed has been tailored to the needs of guppies and other viviparous fish in the aquarium. In addition to high-quality animal ingredients, it also contains vegetable components that benefit guppies & co. The soft granules protect the sensitive mouth of the viviparous from injuries caused by hard food grains and provide the fish with a natural feeding experience.
Our plant recommendation: Use for planting NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.
Expert Tip: When keeping invertebrates we recommend the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.
