When will you change the water for the guppy?

1, the frequency of guppy changing water.

Peacock fish is a sensitive freshwater fish, and the water quality has a great influence on their health, so the water quality of peacock fish must be strictly guaranteed. Generally speaking, guppies need to change water at least once a week, and the proportion of changing water each time should not exceed 30%. If the water quality is found to be obviously dirty or the PH value drops below 6, it is necessary to change the water in time.

For guppies, proper filtration equipment and air pump can effectively maintain water quality. Adding appropriate aquatic plants to the water can make the water fresher and provide shelter for guppies.

2. It's time for guppy to change water.

The guppy adapts to the environment where the water temperature is between 24 and 28 degrees. When the water temperature is higher than 28 degrees, guppy will start to consume oxygen at an accelerated rate, leading to hypoxia and affecting health. Therefore, it is best to change the water at night or early in the morning, which can provide enough oxygen for guppies and is beneficial to their growth. At the same time, it is also a good time for guppy to change water after eating, which can effectively avoid the influence of food residues on water quality.

3. Steps of changing water for guppy

When changing water for guppies, the following steps should be followed:

1. Prepare water, and the temperature and PH value of fresh water should be the same as that of raw water where guppies are located;

2. Pump the old water with pipes or pumps;

3. Clean up the sediment in the fish tank;

4. Add new water;

5. Add water treatment agents, such as activated carbon or aquatic plants, to help remove excess ammonia and nitrogen.

4. Precautions for changing water for guppy.

Pay attention to the following points when changing water for guppy:

1, the water must be clean and pollution-free fresh water. It is best to use tap water, purified water or filtered water;

2. When adding fresh water, the temperature difference between the water temperature and the raw water must be small to avoid the situation that the temperature is too low or too high;

3, the use of water treatment agent must be used in accordance with the requirements of the manual, excessive use will cause the opposite effect;

4. Don't put too many guppies in the fish tank to avoid excessive fighting;

5. Avoid placing the fish tank next to an overly bright balcony or window to avoid sunlight;

6. It is not advisable to change all the water in the fish tank at the same time, because guppies have limited adaptability to the new environment, and changing all the water at once will easily lead to drastic changes in the water quality of the fish tank.
