🐟 Assorted Guppy Care Tips

✅ Tank Requirements

• Tank Size: Minimum 40 litres for a small colony to allow for swimming and breeding room.
• Group Size: Keep in groups of 4 or more; they are schooling fish that feel most secure in a social environment.
• Substrate: Fine gravel or sand works well; live plants are highly recommended for shelter.
• Filtration: Gentle filtration is preferred; ensure the outflow is not too strong as they enjoy calm waters.

🌡️ Water Parameters

• Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
• pH: 7.0–8.2
• Hardness: 8–18 dGH (they prefer slightly harder, alkaline water)
• TDS: 250–400 ppm

🍽️ Diet

• Omnivores: Feed high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and frozen bloodworms.
• Supplement with vegetable-based flakes for growth and vibrant colour.

🧼 Tank Maintenance

• Perform weekly water changes (10–15%) using dechlorinated, temperature-matched water.
• Avoid overstocking; maintain stable water quality to keep your colony thriving and free of disease.

🤝 Tank Mates

• Peaceful; best kept with other community fish like platies, tetras, and corydoras.
• Avoid long-finned fish that may nip at their tails or large, aggressive predators.

🍀 Colour & Health Enhancement

• Lighting: Moderate lighting helps highlight their brilliant colouration and encourages natural plant growth.
• Diet: A mineral-rich, varied diet supports immune health and vibrant colour:

• High-quality colour-enhancing flakes
• Occasional protein foods for growth and breeding
• Calcium-rich foods to support healthy development
