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:
    Omnivorous — offer a variety of:

    • 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.
