CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise a two-day-old guppy? What should you pay attention to?

1. How to raise a two-day-old guppy? What should you pay attention to?

How to take care of newborn fish:

The temperature should be kept at around 28 degrees.

Water change: If the fish tank has a filter, change the water once every three days, and change one-third each time. If it is a small fish tank (if the tank is too small, be careful not to increase the stocking density), then change it once a day, and change about one-fifth. It should be noted that the temperature of the new water should be kept consistent with the water temperature in the original tank as much as possible, and the difference should not be too large. It is best to be within plus or minus 0.5 degrees, because the small fish are too fragile at this time. When changing the water, do not let the impact of the water flow be too strong. Another thing to note is that you must not use freshly connected tap water for replacement. Newly connected tap water contains a lot of substances that are harmful to fish, so the newly connected water must be left for two or three days before changing the water for the small fish.

Feeding: Go to the fish market and buy very thin nematodes. Small fish cannot swallow such a long nematode, so you need to cut the long nematode into small pieces of about 0.2 cm in length by hand or other tools. This will make it easy for small fish to eat. If it is really not possible, you can feed some raw egg green (but feeding raw egg green will seriously pollute the water quality, so you need to change the water in time).

2. Tips for raising guppies

There is no special secret. It is the same as raising ordinary tropical fish. However, you need to pay attention to peacocks. After three generations of breeding, you need to add new fish of this species for mating, otherwise the characteristics of the small fish will easily degenerate.

3. After giving birth to baby fish, how to raise guppies?

1. Small fish should be raised alone, otherwise they will be eaten by big fish.

2. It is best to use the water from the original tank. Small fish are fragile and very sensitive to environmental changes and can easily die.

3. In the first few days after birth, use egg yolk water or brine shrimp eggs to feed. If you use egg yolk water, it should not be too concentrated. Just use a little bit of boiled egg yolk, mash it and dissolve it in the water. Too much will damage the water quality. This amount dissolved in water will hardly make any significant change to the naked eye.

4. When they are a little bigger, you can buy Daphnia to feed them after three days. You can also crush the dry feed and feed it, but they grow faster by feeding live food.

5. Do not change the water too much, a little half will be enough. Do not change the water if it is not dirty. Even if you change the water, make sure to use water that has been stagnant for two days to keep the water temperature consistent on both sides.

Pay attention to the above issues. Generally, after 15 days, the small fish will have grown a lot and can be raised together with adult peacocks in one month.

Peacocks have amazing reproductive capacity. If they reproduce enough, you don't have to worry about them. The small fish will be eaten by the big fish and they will fend for themselves.

4. How to raise guppy pups and female fish about to give birth?

Experience in raising guppies

The main purpose is to raise small fish and take care of the mother fish that are about to give birth, because they can die easily!

1. Juvenile fish

1. It is best to keep the newly born fish in a birthing tank (a 5-liter large oil bottle) for the first month. Grouping is beneficial for the fish to swim.

2. Feed the fish with minced shrimp (dried shrimp) 2-3 days after birth. Take out or sink the remaining floating food every other day. Feed once a day for half a month. You won’t die if you put a little more. Feed twice a day in the second half of the month. It is best not to feed live fish worms to prevent water pollution and fish death.

3. Drain the remaining food and fish feces from the bottom of the bottle every 4 days, drain out at most 1/3 of the water, and replace it with boiled water that has been exposed to the sun and has a higher temperature. The water flow should be slow.

4. After one month, change to a larger tank and use tap water that has been exposed to the sun for a week. At the same time, feed the fish with special fish food. Crush it and feed it in small amounts to prevent it from being eaten by overeating. Feed twice a day and you will not need to feed crushed shrimp soon. After one and a half months, you can grind it slightly. After two months, feed it whole food. The amount of food should be enough for the fish to finish eating in 2 minutes.

5. At the end of the third month, consider the breeding of male and female fish

2. Female fish

1. The buttocks of the female fish about to give birth are black (red fish is slightly black), with a black spot of 3-4 mm. Generally, the female fish will give birth after 25 days of pregnancy. Generally, remember the number of days of pregnancy and put it into the birthing tank (5-liter large oil bottle) 3 days in advance. The water should be exposed to the sun for a week and cannot be lower than the water temperature of the original fish tank. It is best to keep it at 28 degrees Celsius.

2. Reduce feeding and do not let the female fish eat too much. This will prevent her from overeating and causing dystocia. If the female fish does not like to eat before giving birth, you can still feed her a small amount of food, even during the birthing process.

3. The mother fish usually gives birth for about 20 hours. Do not pick up the small fish. As long as the birthing is done alone in the birthing tank, do not be afraid that the mother fish will eat the small fish. It will not eat much. Avoid alarming the mother fish, stopping the birthing, or killing the mother fish.

4. After 24 hours, you can remove the female fish and keep it alone (without male fish). Let it rest for 5 days and then consider the female fish breeding. Also remember that it will give birth again after 25 days.

5. It is best to put some fake algae in the breeding tank.
