Fish feed
There are two kinds of bait for guppy, one is artificial feed sold in the market and the other is live bait. There are many kinds of artificial feed sold in the market, which are divided into flake feed, pellet feed and frozen feed. However, this kind of feed involves safety issues, so it is best to suggest that you give priority to live bait in the bait. So what are the best and safest live baits?
The best live bait is earthworm. On the one hand, earthworms have high nutritional value and can survive for a long time, which will promote peacocks not to eat, thus strengthening the growth rate of guppies; On the other hand, earthworms can also be used as drug bait. First, feed the drugs to earthworms as drug guides, and then give them to guppies. The effect is quite good. Therefore, silk earthworm should be the most perfect feed, but there is one thing that fish friends should pay special attention to, because silk earthworm lives in the wild, although the aquarium will disinfect it, it will inevitably leave some parasites in its body, so fish friends had better do it when feeding.
Followed by harvest shrimp (nauplii)! What needs special attention here is that hatching shrimp eggs does not require too long preparation time and too many procedures, but it should be fed as soon as possible after hatching, otherwise the nutritional value will be slightly discounted. However, if there are extra hatched shrimps, they can be frozen and used for the next feeding, as long as they are thawed.
fodder
For feeding young guppies, it is not recommended to feed too much bait to avoid water pollution caused by endless consumption of small fish. Usually, before the peacock's sex is determined, try to feed high-protein food, but in the case that male and female fish can be raised separately, remember not to let the male fish eat too much high-protein food, and the female fish can feed as much as possible to make the female fish more rounded. However, fish friends should be reminded that if the feeding amount increases, the frequency of changing water should be increased to avoid the rapid deterioration of water quality, causing diseases and endangering guppies.
For adult guppies, you like every kind of feed very much, but don't feed the same feed for a long time, so as not to affect the growth rate of guppies because of single and unbalanced nutrition. In addition, we should often feed some live bait to strengthen the nutrition of guppy.
