Ideally, your tank will be between 5 and 10 gallons in volume. You don’t want to overcrowd your tank. For best results, stick to 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. If you have a 10-gallon tank, for example, aim for about five guppies. This will simply help you maintain the tank better and keep your fish healthier.[1]
- Some guppy breeders and enthusiasts might argue that you don’t need to follow that ratio, but the more fish you have in your tank, the more often you will have to clean it and change the water. Consider this when deciding what size tank to get, and how many guppies to keep in it.don't forget to place a plant on your guppy tank.
4.BUY FISH.
You can buy a fish from fish store or from guppy hobbies.for the first time you buy just buy the cheap one 10 male and 3 female.
3.FEEDING GUPPY
Feed your guppies the right food. You can feed your guppies all kinds of food, both dry and wet, and both live and frozen. You can buy pre-made flake food for guppies that will provide them with a balanced diet, but make sure you avoid feeding them solely a high- protein food. You want to balance protein with vegetable-based food.[8]
- Brine shrimp, earthworm flakes, dried bloodworm, white worms, and mosquito larvae are all great options for feeding your guppies.
- Flake food with fish meal as a primary ingredient is a great choice. Read the labels before buying your guppy food.
- Feed your guppies a small amount 2-4 times per day. Rather than feeding your guppies a large amount all at once, spread their feedings out throughout the day. Try to vary what you give them each feeding. For example, you might give them live brine shrimp during one feeding, and then flake food at the next feeding.[9]
- Be careful not to overfeed your guppies. They should be able to consume the food you give them within two minutes.
