Guppy Care Guide
The Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a beginner-level freshwater aquarium resident from Trinidad, Venezuela. It reaches about 2 inches and should be kept in tanks of at least 10 gallons.
Keep water near pH 6.8-7.8, temperature 72-82F, and hardness 8-25 dH. Feed omnivore, flakes, vegetables with 1-2 small feedings daily.
Guppys prefer harder, more alkaline water than many soft-water fish. They are usually peaceful but should not be kept with fin nippers or fish large enough to eat them.
