Water quality requirements of guppies

Water temperature

The guppies can accept water temperatures from 18°C ​​to 34°C. If the temperature is lower than 18°C, it is relatively easy to have some conditions, such as: loss of appetite, mental embarrassment, and prone to infection with water mould, etc. Thermostat.

As summer room temperature is often higher than 30°C, and the weather is hot, feeders are often too lazy to change the water. Therefore, the concentration of feed residue, excrement, and nitrous acid in the water will increase rapidly to reach the point of threatening the survival of guppies. What's more, the high temperature is accompanied by the rapid metabolism rate of guppies, which causes massive loss of calcium in the body. Therefore, large old female fishes are prone to spinal curvature. The greater the bending, the easier it is to oppress the internal organs and threaten the survival of guppies. To solve this problem, the method of lowering the salary is to lower the temperature. There are many ways to reduce the temperature. The simplest method is to open the air conditioner at home. The disadvantage is that it has to bear more electricity charges. The other method is more economical, but it is more difficult and often Change the water, if you can change the water every day, how many can be reduced by a few degrees, but also allows the peacock to grow fast, fish health, it can be said to be a few.

PH value

The most suitable pH for guppies is between pH 6.5 and pH 7.5. The pH of the water has a considerable effect on the guppies and the pH is a logarithmic form. Therefore, PH5 is 10 times more water than PH6. It is also a hundred times that of PH7, so it is only a small gap for humans. I am afraid that the guppies are already dying.

Another thing to note is that if the breeder changes the water a few times, over time, the water quality has already changed to acidity due to various factors. At this time, if you suddenly change a lot of water, it will inevitably cause a considerable impact on the guppies.

hardness

The peacockfish prefers hard water. The hardness is about 10 to 15 degrees. Even though, the moderator personally believes that the hardness of the water does not have much impact on the guppies. Take two breeds of peacock. Country: Germany and Japan as examples, Germany's water is hard water, and Japan's water quality is soft water, and these two very different conditions can raise the peacock well, the visible peacock's adaptability is strong, It does not require the owner to adjust the water hardness. This is one of the reasons why many people often say that guppies are easy to raise.

Nitrous acid concentration

The concentration of nitrous acid also has a considerable impact on the survival of guppies, although the peacocks are much more suitable for nitrite concentrations than other fish species (according to data, the nitrites can endure about 100 times the concentration of nitrous acid. ) But once the nitrous acid concentration is too high, it is always a harm to the peacock, especially the aquarium is a completely closed body of water, plus usually we raise fish at too high a density, so once negligence, it may be short During the time the guppies were collectively violent and the fish aficionados could not ignore the importance of this problem. There are many reagents available for testing nitrous acid concentration on the market, and the approximate values ​​can be easily measured.

To solve the problem of high concentration of nitrous acid, the quickest method is to immediately exchange fresh and chlorine-removed water. However, if the concentration of long-term nitrous acid is too high, we must consider whether the effect of the filter is too bad or the density of fish Too high.
