Re: How do you breed guppies
It's preferable to keep Guppys in trios, 1 male and 2 females to keep the male from harrassing one female. This ratio is true for most livebearers.
Provideing some floating plants will make your fish feel secure and give the fry someplace to hide and since microscopic critters grow on plants it will give them a good first food along with crushed flake food.
Provide good water quality, good quality food and a temp of about 75-78F and your guppys will take care of the rest. In about 28 days you should have guppy fry. The female can store sperm from one mating and have four batches of fry with out mating again. Although as long as a male is in the tank there will be more than one mating.
A trio of guppys need at least a 10G tank. Hope that helps
