Their diet consists of fish flakes high in protein and live or frozen foods like shrimp and bloodworms supplemented with vegetables.

OVERVIEW
The Guppy is one of the most well-known and popular aquarium fish
for both beginners and seasoned aquarists alike. They add plenty of
color to tanks, are peaceful, relatively cheap and very easy to
maintain. There are almost 300 varieties of Guppies in all different
types of colors, sizes and tail shapes.

TANK SETUP
Their natural habitat is in the warm freshwaters of South America, so
it’s important to replicate these conditions into your tank to provide
them with the most natural environment possible. Most people
choose a 10 gallon tank to keep Guppies in, but you can keep them in
a 5 gallon, or anything upwards of a 10 gallon. Keep the water in
between 75 to 82°F. Plant the tank up with plenty of live plants, rocks
and substrate. Ideal plants to keep these fish with include Hornwort
and Amazon Sword Plants.

DIET
Their main diet should be good quality fish flakes. Ensure you
choose a product which is high in protein, and not filler foods. To
supplement the fish flakes you can feed your fish either live or
frozen foods such as shrimp and bloodworms. You can also give
them vegetables such as peas, lettuce and cucumber. Feed twice a
day.

COMPATIBILITY
Guppies like to be kept in groups of at least 6. Most people choose to
keep just males due to their bright colors. If you choose to keep both
males and females, keep them at a ratio of 2:1. They can also be kept
with other peaceful community fish such as Mollies, Platies, Gouramis,
Corydoras and peaceful Tetras. Almost all livebearers such as Ender’s
Livebearers and Swordtails can make ideal tank mates for them too.
