A trio of Guppies
© Petfish.net
Species/genus: Poecilia reticulata
 
Origin:  Central and South America, Trinidad
 
Temp:  68 - 82°F (20 - 28°C)
 
pH: 6.8 to 7.8       dH:   Medium to Hard
 
Temperament:   Very friendly and nonagressive, but they do have a taste for their own fry at times.
 
Adult Size:   Up to 2 1/2 in   (6 cm) Males are smaller.

 
Minimum Tank Size:  1 Gallon
 
Feeding:   Easy to feed, accepts almost all aquarium foods, likes vegatable matter.
 
Breeding:   Easy to breed livebearer
 
Comments: One of the most popular aquarium fishes of all times. A good beginners fish. Easy to keep and spawn. Guppies come in many varieties and grades of quality from feeder fish to $100.00 (or more) a pair show fish. A lot of Guppy ills can be cured with the addition of 2 teaspoons of salt per gallon of water. Guppies do best in a tank of their own.

My guppies did well other live bearers and even tetras. They do well with other fish as long as the other fish are calm and accept other tank mates.
