What does guppy eat and grow fast?

Peacock fish is a kind of freshwater fish. They are very popular in aquariums and family aquariums. However, in order to make guppies grow fast and stay healthy, correct feed is essential. This paper will discuss the feeding skills of guppy from the following aspects to let you know what guppy should eat.

1, feed selection

Peacock fish is an omnivorous fish. They can eat many different foods. However, providing high-quality feed for guppies can help them grow faster and stay healthy. Usually, artificial fish food, freeze-dried worms and live worms are guppies' favorites.

Artificial fish food is the most convenient feed, which can be bought in pet shops or online stores. Broken artificial fish food is most suitable for guppies because their mouths are small and inflexible. Freeze-dried worms are another option. This feed can make guppies get different kinds of protein, such as silkworm pupa, insect pupa, abalone meat, sardine meat and so on. Live insects, including Daphnia, earthworm and white earthworm, are the favorite of guppies, but they need to be fed more frequently, so people who are busy at work or life usually choose to buy artificial fish food or freeze-dried feed.

Step 2 feed properly

When feeding guppies, the feeding amount should be appropriate. Too much feed will lead to water pollution and affect the health of fish. It is best to feed 1% of the body weight each time according to the size of each fish. The guppy has a high frequency of eating, and adult guppy should be fed 3-4 times a day.

In addition, we should also pay attention to the cleaning of surplus feed, and clean up too much residue and feed in time, which can not only keep the aquarium clean, but also prevent drinking water pollution.

3. Feed rich in vitamins and protein.

It is very important to find vitamins and protein in guppies' feed. Vitamins can help fish absorb nutrients and keep healthy. On the other hand, protein is an essential nutrient for the growth and development of guppy. Different vitamins and protein ingredients were added to the common guppy feed in the aquarium. Adequate supply of these nutrients is very important for the growth and health of guppy.

4, pay attention to the preservation of feed

It is also important to preserve feed correctly. Especially the opened artificial fish materials should be kept in a dry place as soon as possible. The shelf life of frozen dry feed is also relatively short. Even preserved feed, such as live worms, should not be left for too long, otherwise it will deteriorate and affect the health of fish.

Attention should be paid to the choice of feed, reasonable feeding, feed rich in protein and vitamins, and correct preservation methods. As long as these aspects are well controlled, your guppy will surely grow healthily and rapidly.
