How easy are guppies to take care of/breed2007-11-24 23:33:45

Right now I have gouramis. I had 2, but 1 died yesterday. I've only had them for about a month. I'm not sure what happened, but I want easier fish to take care of next time. I've heard guppies are fairly easy to take care of, and they are also easy to breed. Is there anything I should know before I get guppies?

Answers:

Guppies are very easy to take care of, I have alot of them. Keep the tank clean right temp around 70-75. You really don't have to worry about breeding them they do very well on their own :). Males are very pretty females are less pretty. They will eat the fry (baby) so if you don't want that to happen you will want to get a birthing net or put in lots of plants (don't have to be real plants) for the fry to hide in.

And it takes about 2 months for the fry to come. They are so tiny you can hardly see them at first. Good luck.

we had bought 6 females and 3 males and we ended up with so many that we had to keep giving them away. They are easy to raise, but you have to take as many out of the tank as you can when they are born because the bigger ones eat them. You will need 2 females to every male or you will lose your females.
