Question:Temperature???

Just wondering what the temperature for a pregnant female guppy should be? I've heard that the higher the temperature the quicker the pregnancy, not sure if this is correct though.

Hello Emily,

I don't recall hearing that heat will speed up the pregnancy but that doesn't mean it isn't so. I recommend temperatures from 76 to 80 degrees. Pretty much the norm for most tropical fish.
Best of luck for some healthy fry!

higher temps mean faster growth, faster maturation, higher metabolisms, more activitiy and shorter lives, and oviously lower temps mean the opposite. as Aquarist said, 76-80 is best. good luck with babies!

not to mention higher temps mean less oxygen in the water...76-80 is great for guppies
