Breeding Guppies

 Set-up

     

For the Set-up you can use a piece of netting with holes that are small enough for the fries to pass through but not the adults. This is because the adult guppies will eat their own fries. Alternatively you can use a breeder trap sold in fish shops. You can also use plants real or fake to allow for places for the fries to hide from the adults. Floating plants with long roots like water lettuce can also be used. This set-up looks much nicer than the set-up with commercial breeder traps or the netting.

Care for the Fries 

     You should remove the fries to another tank where they would be safer and feed them live foods preferably as it provides them with more nutrients to grow. They can be fed with microworms, baby brine shrimp or water fleas. They also eat powders fish foods and pellets or flake food. Keep the water clean and change the water regularly for them to grow faster.
