The latest scientific culture technology of peacock fish

As the most common species in tropical fish, guppy belongs to very good cultured fish. Therefore, in recent years, the cultivation of guppy in China has become increasingly popular. However, just because fish are easy to breed doesn't mean they don't need to know how to breed them. After all, fish are still very fragile.

So how do you feed guppy scientifically? What farming techniques are there? Follow the small series of articles, let's find out together.

Culture technology of guppy

1. Water temperature.

As we all know, fish first raise water, raise water is the key and fundamental fish, then guppy on the water temperature what requirements? The adaptability of guppy is relatively strong, so the requirements for water are not very high, usually living in the water temperature of 18-24 ° C can be, under normal circumstances, indoor room temperature can meet its requirements for water temperature, but in winter it is best to use the heater, it is best to control the water temperature at about 22 degrees, a little higher does not matter, this will promote the activity of guppy, but also can strengthen its body function resistance.

2. Food.

Said guppy bait, roughly divided into two types, one for the market sold artificial feed, the other is live bait. There are many kinds of artificial feed sold in the market, which are divided into three kinds, namely flake feed, pellet feed and frozen feed. However, this kind of feed involves safety problems, so it is best to give priority to live bait. Next is the shrimp (nauplii) bar! It should be noted here that hatching shrimp eggs does not require too long preparation and does not require too many procedures, but after hatching, they should be fed as soon as possible, otherwise their nutritional value will be slightly reduced. But if there is an excess of brooding shrimp, you can freeze it, and the next time you want to feed it, you can use it as long as you thaw it.

3) Feeding.

For the feeding of newborn guppy, it is not recommended to feed too much bait to avoid the pollution of water quality caused by the small fish eating too much. Usually, before the peacock is sexed, try to feed high-protein foods, but after the male and female fish can be raised separately, remember not to let the male fish eat too much high-protein foods, and the female fish can try to feed, so that the female fish becomes more round. However, fish friends should be reminded that if the feeding quantity increases, the frequency of water change should be increased to avoid the deterioration of water quality too fast, causing disease breeding and harming guppy. For adult guppy fish, they will like each kind of feed very much, but do not feed the same kind of feed for a long time, so as to avoid causing a single imbalance of nutrition and affecting the growth speed of guppy fish. In addition to regular feeding some live bait, to strengthen the guppy nutrition.

The steps of guppy farming

1, the choice of fish tank: guppy because it is a small fish, fish tank does not need to be too large, but if the number of breeding, you can also choose a larger fish tank.

2, filter selection: pay attention to the filter should not use too much power of the water absorption device, easy to suck small fish into the filter equipment, in addition to guppy production should be installed during the mesh isolation net to prevent the inhalation of larvae.

3, landscaping: grass tank with the color of the beautiful guppy, can be said to be a perfect match. The bottom sand is not too limited, not too alkaline can be.

4, water quality: as the saying goes, fish first raise water. The guppy water quality requirements are not very harsh PH value between 6~7 soft water can be, small family farming, then tap water can be used (ps but the chlorine in tap water must be properly treated, can be dried for a few days, in use).

5, water temperature: guppy belongs to a tropical small fish, so the water temperature is also a certain requirement of the water temperature needs to be between 20~30 degrees. The most suitable temperature is about 26 degrees, and the temperature during reproduction should be slightly higher.

6, bait: guppy belongs to small fish, bait is generally artificial bait. If you feed live bait, then you can choose daphnia, shrimp eggs in the harvest small particle bait. Feeding times are generally regular 2 to 3 times a day is appropriate.

7, reproduction: another characteristic of guppy is strong reproductive ability. Indeed, such a pair of guppy can reproduce to 15-30 or more larvae. After the mother fish has produced small fish, it is necessary to separate the large fish from the larvae. Prevent big fish from eating larvae.

8. Conservation of larvae: Egg yolk water can be selected for feeding. The egg yolk is dissolved in water and stirred thoroughly. Waiting for the larvae to grow. Feed different diets depending on body size. The water quality of larvae must be ensured to prevent bacterial infection of larvae and cause death.

Equipment for raising guppy

1. Fish tank

2, filter equipment (water conditioner)= feeding water

3. Thermal insulation appliances

4. Feed (live bait, artificial feed)

5. Healthy guppy

What is the best and safest live bait to feed guppy?

The best live bait is the worm.

On the one hand, the nutritional value of silk earthworms is very high, and they can survive for a long time, which will promote the peacock not to eat, thus strengthening the growth rate of guppy fish.

On the other hand, silk earthworms can also be used as bait, the drug first fed to silk earthworms into medicine, and then to guppy eat, the effect is quite good.

Therefore, silk earthworms should be the most perfect feed, but there is one point fish friends should pay special attention to, because silk earthworms live in the wild, although the aquarium will sterilize them, but inevitably some parasites will remain in their bodies, so fish friends in the feeding time had better do something about it.

Above, we introduced the breeding technology of guppy and a series of breeding contents. In order to let everyone reasonably raise guppy, be sure to observe the habits of guppy scientific feeding. Hope this article is helpful to you who cultivate guppy.
