What do small guppies eat to grow? How to raise large guppies?

As people's quality of life improves, more and more people like to keep pets at home, and goldfish has become the first choice for most people because of its small size. So what do small guppies eat to grow big? How to raise guppies? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

What is suitable for guppies to eat

As for guppies, since they are smaller in size, when buying ordinary fish food, you can crush the fish food with something heavy and then feed it to the guppies. You can also catch some fish worms from the stream to eat. The color of guppies eating such fish worms will be brighter, but I personally think that you should try not to feed some live ones, because it is difficult to control. It will also cause the water quality to deteriorate.

How to raise guppies

1. In the opening stage (they can open their mouths about the second day after birth), it is recommended that brine shrimp be used as the opening feed, four to six times a day, at least three times a day.

2. Growth stage (the first week after the fish open is a critical seven days, which determines the size and posture of the fish). The growth stage is slightly longer, about two months. During this period, you should eat small meals frequently. It is best to finish the food within 15 minutes after feeding. The most suitable feed for the growth stage is hatched brine shrimp. Occasionally, you can grind the granular feed into powder and feed it! It is recommended to add a few apple snails to the fish tank for young fish. The role of the snail is to eliminate the leftovers of the young fish and keep the water clean.

3. The color development stage. Generally, the fish will start to develop color after two months of growth, and will start to develop color in the third month of growth. At this stage, you can buy some frozen bloodworms to feed them. If the bloodworms are too long, you can cut them into pieces with scissors and feed them together with hatched brine shrimps. At this time, the feed is mainly bloodworms, and brine shrimps are used as a small dessert after meals. Because the fish grow rapidly at this stage, brine shrimps can no longer meet the daily consumption of the fish, so red worms are the main feed at this stage.

4. Adult fish stage. Generally, four months is considered the youth stage of fish. At this time, the body shape and color are basically formed. At this time, there is no need to feed bloodworms every meal. You can switch to ordinary tropical fish feed.
