Some time ago, I went to a large aquarium market and came across a fishing farm specializing in wholesale guppies. I don't know if I don't go in, but I'm shocked when I go in. I can't imagine that all of them are different varieties of guppies, dare not say that there are hundreds of guppies, dozens of guppies with different grain colors are still available. Go back and check, guppies are usually divided into four major strains, there are as many as 72 species of guppies, and there are 12 common species. The three popular varieties are mosaic, grass tail and dress, of which the mosaic tail stem is dark blue, and the pattern on the tail fin resembles a mosaic pattern. Kusanagi has dense black spots on its tail, and the tail handle of the dress is black and looks like a dress.
The cheapest guppies should be miscellaneous guppies, in the well-known ornamental fish wholesale market in China, you buy 10 yuan there are 100 miscellaneous guppies, basically sell two or three yuan a piece in the third and fourth tier cities in China, if you do not count the cost of damaging artificial store funds, the profit of intuitive visitors is twenty or thirty times, if these costs are excluded, the real profit is also several times. The most expensive guppies are the most expensive, some say that grass-tailed guppies and mosaic guppies are the most expensive, and grass-tailed peacocks are artificially improved species by aquarium experts. In short, the price is divided by grade. Guppies are divided into S, A, B, and C grades, of which S is the most expensive and C is the cheapest. Most of the S class (competition level) and A class are in the hands of players, and the C class is the commercial fish in the fish market.
The most suitable water temperature for guppies is 24°C-28°C; When the water temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, the color of the fish gradually fades. The pH value of water is maintained between 6.5-7.5, and slightly alkaline water is more suitable; guppies prefer hard water, with a hardness of about 10-15 degrees.
The favorite moment for aquarists who raise guppies is when they watch it give birth. Different guppy species also have obvious differences in the number of litters, some guppy species give birth to 8-20 litters for the first litter, and some species are as high as 100. For the same species of guppies, as the number of litters increases, the number of fish produced at one time also increases. It takes about 3 to 4 months from fry to mother fish calves, and the distance between the first litter and the next litter is between 1 and 2 months, and the number of litters can be produced 6 times a year, or more.
Guppies are also one of the aquarium fish I bought when I first raised fish. It is very suitable for novices to raise small tropical ornamental fish, which is nothing more than cheap and easy to keep, and also satisfies the fun of novice players watching its calves. In particular, the fish that have just been produced by the mother fish should be fished out immediately, and the fry should be raised separately in raw water to prevent the female fish male fish from eating their own sons.
