Instruction
1. Perhaps, even the most experienced aquarians cannot tell with an accuracy as guppies in the native habitat look. They are not caught any more in the wild nature as selectors brought the whole set of types of these fishes. They are so beautiful that it is difficult to give preference to one type of the guppy.
2. Females of the guppy, unlike males, have ordinary-looking coloring, sometimes grow to six centimeters. Males differ in bright, unusually beautiful and attractive coloring. Length of males usually does not exceed three-four centimeters (males more largely in rare instances meet).
3. Some species of females of the guppy have gray color, on fins yellow, red or black spots in rare instances meet. The narrow and small little body of a male is covered with multi-colored spots. Coal points and strokes, gold, green, red, silver, violet and blue spots develop in beautiful drawings, pass to tail and back fins. All patterns are poured, shine and shine. And the most interesting – drawings do not repeat, each male has the individual color. The back fin of the guppy can be square, triangular, round. It can hang down in a long kositsa or to be extended in the long film.
4. The aquarium needs to be set with fine-leaved plants, to maintain water temperature 20-28os and to feed small fishes with a cut crank or a Cyclops, then success of reproduction will be provided. In such favorable conditions the female of the guppy throws whitebaits each 3-6 weeks all the year round. By the way, guppies are viviparous fishes, instead of caviar they throw created and ready at once to eat whitebaits. The quantity of whitebaits depends on feeding and the sizes of a female. Young individuals bring from 10 to 12 whitebaits, old can throw up to hundred pieces.
5. Guppies are bad parents, they can eat the cubs with ease if they are hungry. Therefore if you wish to receive posterity, it is necessary to transplant a female before childbirth in a separate vessel with a large number of plants. As soon as the female vymecht whitebaits, it is necessary to send her back to an aquarium. Maintain purity in capacity with whitebaits and periodically change water. Pay attention to living conditions of fishes. At poor quality of water, a lack of oxygen and high density of fishes the aggression can increase in an aquarium. In this case it is necessary to improve living conditions of pets.
