Guppy Care Guide
 
Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish due to their bright colors, active nature, and ease of care. They're also livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming fry, making them fascinating for breeding projects.
🏡 Tank Setup
Tank Size:
Minimum: 10 gallons 
Ideal: 20+ gallons to allow for schooling and breeding
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 74–82°F (23–28°C)
pH: 6.8–7.8
Hardness: 8–12 dGH
Ammonia/Nitrites: 0 ppm
Nitrates: < 40 ppm
Filtration:
Use a gentle filter like a sponge or internal filter; guppies don’t like strong currents.
Substrate & Décor:
Sand or fine gravel; add live or silk plants (e.g., Java moss, Anubias) and hiding spots to reduce stress.
Lighting:
8–12 hours of moderate light daily; useful for plant growth and maintaining a natural day-night cycle.
🐟 Tank Mates
Compatible with:
Tetras, platies, mollies, corydoras, small rasboras, snails, and shrimp.
Avoid:
Aggressive or fin-nipping fish like tiger barbs or larger cichlids.
🍽️ Feeding
Diet:

High-quality flake or micro pellets
Live/frozen brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworms
Blanched vegetables (zucchini, spinach)
Feeding Schedule:
1–2 times daily, only what they can eat in ~2 minutes
👶 Breeding 
Livebearers:
Female guppies can give birth to 20–50 fry every 30 days.
Sexing:
Males: Smaller, colorful, have a pointed gonopodium
Females: Larger, duller, have a gravid spot
Fry Care:
Use a breeding box or a separate nursery tank.
Feed fry crushed flake food, baby brine shrimp.
🧽 Maintenance
Weekly tasks:
25–30% water change
Gravel vacuuming
Filter check (rinse with tank water, not tap)
Monthly tasks:
Water testing
Filter media cleaning
 
Common Problems:
Fin rot / fungal issues: Usually from poor water quality
Ich (white spots): Treat with raised temp + aquarium salt/medication
Aggression or stress: Check overcrowding, tank mates, hiding spaces
Tip: Add a bit of aquarium salt (1 tsp per 5 gallons) to promote gill health and reduce stress (avoid if keeping snails).
 
Guppies are hardy, colorful, and a joy to watch. With the right setup and regular maintenance, they’ll thrive and potentially multiply — fast! Make sure to plan ahead if you’re keeping both males and females.
