How To Breed Its Fish Guppies

Useful Tips for fishing enthusiasts guppies
My hobby is their fish guppies, so I will share tips and ways to tip the fish breed guppies, to want to start a new interest in martial fish guppies. Fish guppies are the easiest fish for breeding and can reproduce in a short time only. The most important thing here is to keep the pH of the water and be where the fish breed and how to feed the fish.

Water suitable for fish guppiesSome people think just the fish alone, the only water park in her will to live. Fish must have water, but water pH she was there. I always use anti chlorine according to a given measure. Fish can not live in chlorinated water or tap water.

If you want to use tap water, to keep down for 2 or 3 days, so that the chlorine is gone. Another way is dependent on rain water shall be well. For me, I did not measure pH with a pH measuring instrument, but adequate follow the syllabus of anti chlorine or use only rain water or filtered water.

How to breed guppies fry
To get the fish fry guppies, there must be male and female fish heheheh!. Place the fish is even a pond or aquarium, we make sure there is a place for privacy fish, like humans, fish do not even want privacy.

Decorate the pool or an aquarium with plants and ornamental stones or broken pottery vases, decorative wood into evil fish that can "honeymoon" there, and there is also a place of privacy fish.
 
Fish jugak female guppies need a hidden when it is about to give birth. Trees and a privacy had become a hideout juvenile guppies from adult fish. That if we did not isolate its new fish breed.

Is necessary to prevent separation of the fish eaten by adults.

Seen juvenile guppies
Want to know the way male and female guppies fish
Fish female guppies more distended belly and the male body is slim guppies or pointy.

Female guppies fish is not as pretty as the male guppies fish. Typically, fish are beautiful male guppies to attract females of other kinds of animals, we saw a rooster with a hen. Can a shadow, right?

Additional Tip: Fish guppies newly purchased at the store with the guppies fish in the drain side of the house is not the same. If you just bought at the store, we have to soak it in a plastic container of water the fish / 10-aquarium for 15 minutes so that the same water temperature. Fish can not easily surprised. Fish in the drains may have been tough and powerful body than fish kept in aquariums.

Measure Salinity: Aquarium Hydrometer

If you have a saltwater aquarium, it is important that you check the concentration of salt in the water by using Aquarium Hydrometer. Salinity or salt concentration in the aquarium water can increase or decrease depending on how much aquarium salt that you add in. The density is represented by specific gravity, which simply means the ratio in terms of weight of one liter of salt water compared to the same corresponding amount of pure water at a given temperature. Basically what it means is that, this will determine the amount of dissolved salt substance in the water. More concentrated saltwater will actually translate to higher specific gravity and vice versa.

The value of specific gravity, can change overtime if the aquarium water starts to evaporate. According to the rule of thumb, a good specific gravity to maintain for your saltwater aquarium will depend on whether you have fish-only saltwater tank or reef tank. Both setups will require different density and the normal value for fish-only marine tank ranges between 1.020 to 1.023 while reef tank needs higher value that goes between 1.023 to 1.025. Bear in mind also that different saltwater tropical fish will have different requirements and thus the density value has to be adjusted according to the species.



Other than hydrometer, there is also another salinity checker, which is Refractometer. Both equipment are using different concept of measurement in which hydrometer is based on buoyancy while refractometer is based on principle of light refraction through liquids. Both units will also provide fast reading but however, for more accurate measurement, usually experienced fish hobbyist prefers using refractometer. Price is also another determining factor towards your selection because hydrometer usually cost around $20 while refractometer can go as high as three times the price. There is also another reason why sometimes fishkeeper prefer refractometer because unlike hydrometer, refractometer does not lose accuracy overtime.

Nowadays, getting specific gravity reading is quite simple because all a person needs to do is to dip in the hydrometer and the results can be obtained from the gradual marking. For refractometer, this will require a certain skill because you will need to place a drop of aquarium water on the prism and you need to do adjustment by viewing through the optical lens until a clear reading is obtained. Finally, based on the reading given by the hydrometer or refractometer, you can either add in more marine salt if the density value is low or you can add more water to dilute if the density shows higher value above the range that you want.
