CATDOLL : CATDOLL: At what time of day do guppies usually breed?

1. At what time of the day do guppies generally breed?

Usually produced in the morning.

1.

Guppies are ovoviviparous fish. They have strong reproductive capacity and early sexual maturity. After 3 to 4 months of breeding, young fish enter the mature stage and can reproduce offspring. The early or late sexual maturity is closely related to the water temperature and breeding conditions.

2.

When breeding guppies, you should choose a larger water tank, keep the water temperature at 26 degrees Celsius, and plant more aquatic plants.

3.

After the female fish gives birth, it should be fished out immediately to prevent the fry from being eaten. Or use plastic sheets to form a funnel-shaped isolation wall, penetrate the water, and place the female fish in the funnel, so that the fry will fall into the water outside the funnel from the hole below the funnel after they are born.

4.

Guppies give birth once a month, with 10 to 80 fry each time. The annual number of fry is quite large, so they are called million-fish. When breeding, it should be noted that the breeding fish should not exceed three generations in the same litter, so as to avoid continuous inbreeding leading to the degeneration of the species, making the offspring smaller and smaller, and the tail fin shorter.

Generally, it is when the light is relatively dim, so the chance is greater at night. I have been raising guppies for many years, and I have summarized several characteristics: Generally, if you use a glass tank to observe the abdomen of the female fish from the side, you can clearly see the small fish, which means that it is about to give birth (it can be seen that the fertilized eggs are red at first, gradually turn brown, and finally you can see the small fish curled up into a circle); the female fish will not eat when it is about to give birth, and the color of its body will become darker; it will swim abnormally. I suggest that you keep the fish that are about to give birth separately in a quiet and dark place, hoping that the reproduction will be successful. It feels very comfortable to raise large and small fish. If you have anything, please share more.

Theoretically, the breeding period is 24 hours a day, but based on my personal experience, the probability is generally higher between 5 p.m. and 5 a.m.

In fact, the production time of fish has a lot to do with its production environment.

The water temperature in the production environment should be kept above 25 degrees, 28 degrees is optimal.

The water quality needs to be water that has been stored for more than 2 days, and there should be aquatic plants in the fish tank.

If the guppy keeps swimming underwater or not moving, it means it is about to give birth.

It should be any time. My female guppy used to give birth at 8 or 9 in the morning, but today it was at 3 in the afternoon.

2. How often do guppies reproduce?

01 Can reproduce once a month

The gonads of guppies are mature at 4 to 5 months of age, but their reproductive capacity is very weak. They can reproduce once a month in water with a temperature of 24°C and a hardness of about 8 degrees. The number of fry produced each time varies depending on the size of the fish, ranging from more than 5 to more than 100. Some fish can produce more than 200 fry.

Poecilia reticulata, commonly known as guppy, also known as anchovy, rainbow flower, rainbow, guppy, etc., is a tropical fish of the family Poecilia. The size and color of male and female fish are quite different. Adult male fish are thin, 3-4 cm long, colorful and graceful; adult female fish are about 5 cm long, with caudal peduncle and caudal fin accounting for more than 1/3 of the body, and each fin is shorter than that of male fish. The body color is much inferior to that of male fish.

1. How often do guppies reproduce?

When the environment is suitable, the breeding cycle of guppies is about once a month, and the output of one litter is about 5 to 100 small fish. After 4 to 5 months of breeding, the small fish become reproductive again and can reproduce the next generation.

2. What are the characteristics that indicate the onset of reproduction in guppies?

1. Behavior. Most female fish that are about to give birth or are in the process of giving birth will show two states: some will jump up and down, and some will hide quietly in a corner.

2. Square shape. When viewed from the side, the belly of the female fish looks rectangular, which is relative to the normal belly shape, not strictly square.

3. The color of the fetal spot is darker. Most wild fish have black fetal spots, but there are also other colors. It is better to judge by the area of ​​the fetal spot. Generally, the fetal spot area of ​​female fish that are about to give birth is larger.

4. Protruding anus: If the anus is protruding, it means that the female fish will give birth soon, and you should prepare for delivery.

3. When is the breeding cycle of guppies?

Generally speaking, the lifespan of guppies is about one year, of course, there is also an ideal survival rate of 2-3 years. Therefore, guppies can enter the sexual maturity stage 3-5 months after birth, at which time they have the ability to reproduce the next generation.

4. What is the suitable breeding temperature for guppies?

When breeding guppies, you need to choose a larger aquarium to provide a comfortable environment. The requirements for this environment are not very high. First of all, the water quality should be good. After all, "raising fish starts with raising water". Secondly, the temperature should be constant. The water temperature is 24℃ and the hardness is about 8 degrees. Such a simple environment can meet the basic environment for guppies breeding.

Note: After the female fish gives birth, it must be fished out immediately to avoid eating the fry.

3. When is the best time for guppies to breed?

Guppies can breed all year round.

If you are looking for the best time to breed, it would be spring.

Spring is a good season for most animals to reproduce as everything comes back to life.

It can be reproduced all year round, as long as the water temperature is sufficient
