Guppies need shelter to feel secure and reduce stress in their environment. They thrive in aquariums that provide hiding spots, such as plants, rocks, or decorations that mimic their natural habitat. Dense aquatic plants, like Java moss or hornwort, are particularly beneficial as they offer both cover and breeding areas. Additionally, maintaining a well-structured environment helps prevent aggression and promotes a healthy, thriving community.
No. Guppies need a heater, whereas gold fish will overheat. Also, they will eat the guppies.
You don't.
Because its shelter we need shelter to survive.
The answer depends on the number of guppies. A few guppies can live in a 2.5 gallon tank or larger, temperature between 72 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Many people raise fancy guppies in 5.5 and 10 gallon tanks.
No they should not, goldfish like higher vegetable protein levels, where as guppies need more animal protein.Yes.
Guppies and water hyacinth are interdependent in their ecosystem. Guppies thrive in environments where water hyacinth is present, as the plants provide shelter and breeding grounds, reducing predation risk. In turn, guppies help control mosquito populations and contribute to nutrient cycling in the water, benefiting the health of the water hyacinth and the overall ecosystem. This mutual relationship enhances biodiversity and promotes a balanced habitat.
They could but it wouldn't be very suitable. Guppies, although small fish, produce millions of eggs, and being fresh water fish, they need to be layed in the river they inhabit. Only a handful of guppies will survive, so they need a rather big space to reproduce/
Mine did not have salt and they lived for several months
Ovcourse! You need shelter to keep you safe if something happens !!
Guppies are small, colorful fish that need to be fed twice to four times daily. They can only eat small amounts at a time. Guppies are tropical fish and need a heater set to about 27 - 25 degrees. Guppies give birth once a month, with a highest amount of fry at 70 depending on the the health and age/ size of the female. They are a freshwater and brackish water fish. Guppies need a ph level of 7 to 8. There needs to be a larger number of females than males, otherwise the males will fight over them. They will eat their own fry.
I think it depends on where you are in the world. Most local fish stores will take the guppies in exchange for store credit or money.
The goldfish should never be in the same tank as guppies. Goldfish are coldwater fish and need to be kept below 70F. Guppies are tropical fish and need to be kept above 70F.
