How to breed beautiful guppies

The tail of a guppy is as beautiful as a peacock with its tail open. Its graceful and colorful appearance is one of the reasons why we like it. However, its beauty also requires us to discover and cultivate it, such as its body shape. Shaping, color selection, etc., as long as we are patient and careful, we will be able to cultivate the beautiful guppies we want.

How to breed beautiful guppies
There are many things to do to breed colorful guppies

There are many things that guppies don't have We first have to decide what kind of guppies we want to cultivate. Only by describing the shape we want in our brains, such as what the tail fin should look like, and what the body color patterns should look like. Only by cultivating the ideal guppy can you cultivate the ideal guppy by how it behaves and what its body shape should be, and then gradually change it to the ideal guppy in your mind. Naturally, the growth of guppies is a long-term process, and the striped body color cannot be completed in just one generation. Yes, you must continue to experiment. In the process of transforming guppies, don't be impatient. Don't expect that the tail fin and body color can be modified at the same time. You can only change a wide area at a time. This is also related to the modification of genes. For example, if you want to change the tail fin this time, then choose a fish with a large tail fin to change, put aside the body color, and wait until the tail fin meets the requirements, then change the body color or body shape, so that you can achieve the goal. Only by systematically modifying fish can you be successful. Cultivation of guppies is a huge project, and if you try to change it blindly and without any means, you will not achieve any results. In order to preserve beautiful and thriving fish during cultivation, what we often have to do is system maintenance. System maintenance, as the name suggests, is to maintain the certain state of guppies, so that such beautiful guppies can continue. System maintenance is a long-term process, and it also has many methods, which are divided into the following categories:

1. Co-pregnancy matching

From the child In the previous generation, relatively beautiful male guppies were used for symnatal mating with strong female fish to produce good traits and preserve this trait. Genes determine the traits, but due to the number of symnatal matings, After generations, genes will weaken or change. Changes without shared genes will worsen physical fitness and body shape. Therefore, it is still necessary to use genes without shared genes to match and protect them.

2. Co-species and cross-breed protection method

This method is to use fish that have no common lineage to mate, and the fish that have no lineage are itsParents and generations are different. This way, the system and traits can be maintained without causing major problems, so it is a faster and safer method.

3. Protection method of heterogeneous and heterogeneous lines

The mating method of protection method of heterogeneous and heterogeneous lines mainly assumes that Exhibitors with good traits in other strains can be inherited into this strain, but this method takes a long time, and attention must also be paid to whether there are undesirable genetic traits from other strains in the offspring. There are other If there are no benign traits, we must find ways to eliminate them, and we must continue to improve them. Therefore, it takes a relatively long time to produce purebred fish using this method, often as little as one year and as long as several years. This is where the hard work of this method comes into play.

When growing guppies, we should also pay attention to the selection of broodstock. When choosing broodstock to grow, we should generally pay attention to whether the body is healthy, whether each fin (especially the tail fin) can grow and stretch, whether the body color is obvious, and whether the markings are Whether the characteristics are obvious, whether the expression is pure, etc. With a good variety, you can start the preparation work. Usually guppies can be mated when they are 4 months old.

In order to obtain a guppy with a very beautiful appearance, a long body and a long tail, it must be raised in a large aquarium from the beginning. Naturally, we also need to create entertainment for the guppy. A good living environment such as a good water body, a dark sandy bottom, more aquatic plants and suitable water quality. With a good environment and suitable cultivation methods, as long as you have patience, you will definitely be able to cultivate the guppies you want.
