The breeding period of guppies usually falls between May and October each year. Guppies have a very strong reproductive ability. They can give birth once a month, and the number of offspring each time ranges from 10 to 120.
Guppies have a remarkably strong adaptability to the environment. They can survive in weakly alkaline water and tolerate low temperatures. They have a wide range of feeding habits and can eat both animal-based bait and plant-based bait. Fresh water fleas are the most suitable food for them. Besides, guppies are gentle in temperament and can be mixed with other gentle small and medium-sized tropical fish, which makes them very popular in the breeding of tropical freshwater fish.
Guppies are widely raised not only because of their gorgeous body colors and graceful body shapes but also due to their powerful reproductive ability and strong adaptability to the environment. They also play an important ecological role in nature, being able to effectively suppress the breeding and spreading of mosquitoes.
