Recently, many aquarists have raised the issue of pintails in small guppy fry. Some aquarists directly put the blame on the fish's genetic problems, but they disagree with this point. As the old saying goes, most fish diseases are caused by human factors. We should not shirk responsibility.

The most important thing for small guppies is still pintails. The physical condition of small fish is very important. Without a good body and nutrition, everything we talk about will be redundant.

After the fry emerge from the water, try to feed them with live food. The first option is to hatch brine shrimp or fish for fish worms. If you cannot do these two things. We can use chopped iceworms or fish meat instead. These are easy to get and are much better than fish feed. Thirdly, we can also buy dried fish and insects, which is also a good choice.

Another reason that easily causes pintails in small guppy fry is water quality. Nowadays, water that is too acidic or too alkaline will not exist at all. We only need to ensure that the water quality is fresh and do not change the water in large quantities. . The small guppy fry should be raised in old water as much as possible. The best time to be trapped in water is more than three days, and the best frequency of water change is about one fifth in three days. If you can use the trapped old green water, then Even better.

Another one is that the water temperature difference when changing the water must be well controlled. If the temperature difference is too large, small fish will be prone to pintailing if they cannot adapt. No matter what kind of small fry they are, the temperature difference when changing the water should not exceed More than two degrees, it is best to change the water temperature to one and a half degrees higher than the original tank water. However, because the weather is relatively hot now, if the water temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the water temperature of the water change can be lowered by one degree than the original tank water.

The last one is to pay attention to the stocking density as the small fish gradually grow up. When the density is high, the water quality will naturally not be good, and small fish will tend to get sick. This is also a problem that aquarists tend to overlook. They feel that the fry are very small. If there is no extra tank on hand, they just find a container and put the fish in it. There is not even an oxygen equipment. As the fish grow, Due to the high temperatures in summer, small fry are more likely to develop pintails.

The hotter the weather, the more vigilant you should be at all times. , don’t think that everything will be fine if the temperature for raising fish is enough. In fact, guppy fry are afraid of high temperatures, so the water body for raising them should be wider than in other seasons. The wider the water body, the better it can resist high temperatures, and their chances of getting sick will be reduced accordingly.

In the process of breeding ornamental fish, contradictory problems will always exist, but as long as we observe and think carefully, we can always find a solution. If we pay attention to the above points, the problem of pintails in guppy fry can be avoided. High temperatures in summer are not a problem. The problem is the deterioration of water quality and lack of oxygen caused by high temperatures. Nowadays, there are cooling equipment indoors, and this problem can be solved.
