Guppies (confirm introduction)
Generally speaking, the criteria for choosing guppies are not much different from those for choosing colorful fish. It is nothing more than asking for no abnormalities on the body surface, no wounds, no damage to the flippers, no white hairs, white spots and other growths, and a strong sense of baiting, etc. Generally speaking, we should pay attention to:
1. Look at the body surface
Try to choose a peacock with no physical injuries. It is more dignified. It is best to choose a guppy that is not injured or killed in the whole tank. To avoid bringing the source of the disease home, you should also pay attention to the time when new fish are put into the tank. It is best not to pour water from the fish store into the fish tank. At the same time, do not keep newly purchased peacocks or peacocks that have been raised for a period of time in the tank. Instead, the newly purchased guppies are quarantined in the quarantine tank first. The purpose is to prevent the peacocks that have been raised for a period of time from the bacteria introduced by the peacocks that enter later and have no resistance and cause the guppies to die. sacrifice.
2. Look at the fins
Choose a fish whose fins do not shrink. If the fins shrink, it means that the guppy can no longer adapt to the environment, or the amount of bacteria in the water has increased. After a high pass, if there are big changes during the purchase, the guppies may lie under the tank after a trip.
3. Appetite
If it can grab feed, it should be in good health.
4. Check the anus
To check whether the guppy has internal parasites, you can check the anus to see if there are bifurcated red protrusions; or if there are swellings , if so, it means that the wearer has internal parasites, it is best not to buy it unless you are sure of its cure! What can be seen from the surface is already an adult, but whether there are eggs or larvae in the body cannot be seen from the surface, and there are almost no abnormalities in the early stage, and once a guppy carrying a parasite enters your body Fish tank, it is easy for parasites to infect every healthy guppy, and then the problem will be very troublesome!
If the method is to cultivate new species, it is best to choose younger peacocks. Although fully mature peacocks, both male and female, are beautiful, they may not be able to survive the golden age of childbearing, so it is best to choose young and vigorous ones. Peacock, a healthy male fish will follow the female fish behind and keep chasing the female fish.
