About the Guppy
Guppies are small tropical freshwater fish that are native to South America. With around 300 different varieties of guppies out there all with different colorations and tails, along with how easy they are to find, since most pet stores carry them, it is no wonder this fish is so popular.

The guppy typically only gets to be between 1-2 inches in size, and they are usually considered a very peaceful addition to community tanks with similar sized fish. The only drawback to guppies is that they do tend to have a shorter lifespan of only around 2 years, although I have seen some live as long as 5.

Tank Set Up
Guppies technically can be kept in as small as a 5 gallon tank, but I would recommend keeping them in a 10 gallon or larger, as this allows for you to keep a small group of them. Guppies are considered a shoaling fish, so while they can live alone, they tend to do best in groups. If you want to keep males and females in a tank together, you will want to keep 3 females for every male, to keep the females from getting harassed too much.

Since guppies originate from a warmer tropical environment, their tank should be kept between 75-82 degrees, so you may need a heater for them. They also prefer slightly harder water with a pH range between 6.8-7.8.

Diet
Guppies are considered omnivores and usually aren’t very picky eaters. You will want to feed them a high-quality pellet or flake food, along with brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms, they will even feed on certain types of algae in the aquarium.

Breeding
Guppies are live bearers, so they give birth to live fry. They are typically very easy to breed, and the males and females are easy to tell apart. Males tend to have much more vibrant coloration, while females are usually dull in color. Females also are usually larger in size and males tend to be thinner.
