Do you need a water filter for guppies?
Guppies do not need plants or gravel; they do not even need a heavy-duty power filter. An inside box filter powered by an air pump is all that is necessary for biological and mechanical filtration and aeration (for a 5 to 10 gallon tank). You can leave out the charcoal and weigh the box down with marbles.
How long does it take for a guppy to grow up?
They will grow to full size in about six months, which is 1.5 inches long for males, and 2.5 inches for females, not counting the tail.
Are guppies a schooling fish?
First and foremost, both guppies and tetras should be kept in a group of the same species. As schooling fish, they generally feel most comfortable with others of their own kind. Both guppies and tetras are adapted to living in large groups in the wild as a means of protection.
Do guppies get along with other fish?
For example, many tetras make great companions for guppies. The neon tetra, a small colorful fish, makes a great tankmate. Minnows and rasboras also get along just fine with guppies. Even other members of the guppy family, like the platy, can easily, comfortably share a tank with guppies.
How long can you go without feeding guppies?
Many experienced fishkeepers routinely leave their charges for two to three days without making any provisions for feeding. Almost any fish can go that long without fish food (more about that later, as well). However, if you're going away for longer, some preparation may be needed.
Do guppies sleep at night?
Sleeping Patterns in Guppies. Guppies stop swimming and float when they go to sleep, causing them to sometimes appear dead. Guppies may choose to sleep by lying motionlessly on the gravel at the bottom of a tank, floating at the surface or resting near plant decorations.
