By Clint Norwood
 
A trio of Guppies
© Petfish.net
Species/genus: Poecilia reticulata

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.

Comment : 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.
