1 water temperature
The acceptable water temperature of guppies ranges from 18℃ to 34℃. If it is lower than 18℃, some conditions are likely to occur, such as loss of appetite, mental paralysis, and water mold infection. Therefore, you can decide whether to use the heater according to your personal situation.
In summer, the room temperature is often higher than 30℃, and the weather is hot, so the owners are usually too lazy to change the water, so the concentrations of feed residue, excreta and nitrous acid in the water will increase rapidly, threatening the survival of guppies. Moreover, the high temperature is accompanied by the rapid metabolic rate of guppies, resulting in a large loss of calcium in the body. Therefore, large old fish are prone to spinal curvature. The greater the curvature, the easier it is to oppress the internal organs and threaten the survival of guppies. The way to solve this problem is to reduce the temperature. There are many ways to reduce the temperature. The simplest way is to turn on the air conditioner at home, which has the disadvantage of paying more electricity bills. The other method is more economical, but it is more laborious, that is, "changing the water frequently". If you can change the water every day, it can be reduced by several degrees, and it can also make the peacock grow fast and the fish healthy, which can be said to kill several birds with one stone.
2 PH value
The most suitable PH value for guppies is between PH6.5 and PH7.5. The pH value in water has a great influence on guppies. The pH value is logarithmic, so the water with PH5 is ten times as much as pH 6 and one hundred times as much as pH 7. Therefore, it is only a small "1" gap for humans, and I am afraid that guppies have been tortured to death.
In addition, it should be noted that if the breeder changes the water less frequently, the water quality has already turned acidic due to various factors over time. At this time, if the water is changed suddenly in large quantities, it will inevitably cause a considerable impact on guppies.
3 hardness
Peacock fish likes hard water, and the hardness is about10 ~15 degrees. However, the moderator personally thinks that the hardness of water will not have much influence on peacock fish. Take two countries with a long history of raising peacocks as examples: Germany and Japan, where the water is hard, and Japan, where the water quality is soft, and these two conditions are completely different. This is one of the reasons why many people often say that guppy is easy to raise.
4 Nitrite concentration
The concentration of nitrous acid also has a considerable impact on the survival of peacock fish. Although peacock adapts to the concentration of nitrous acid far more than other fish species (according to the data, the concentration of nitrous acid that peacock fish can tolerate is about 100 times that of colorful fairy), once the concentration of nitrous acid is too high, it will always be a kind of harm to peacock, especially the aquarium is a completely closed water body, and usually we raise fish with too high density. Therefore, once neglected, guppies may die suddenly in a short time. As owners, fish friends can't ignore the importance of this problem. There are many reagents for testing nitrite concentration on the market, which can easily measure the approximate value.
To solve the problem of high nitrite concentration, the quickest way is to immediately replace it with fresh water with chlorine removed. However, if the nitrite concentration is too high for a long time, it is necessary to consider whether the filter effect is too poor or the fish feeding density is too high.
5 feed for peacock fish
artificial feed
At present, there are quite a few kinds of artificial feed sold in the market, which can be roughly divided into three types: first, flake feed; Second, pellet feed; Third, frozen feed. These feeds are the easiest to obtain and feed. In addition, there are feeds specially developed for guppies, which should also be the choice of most guppies owners as staple foods, and the nutritional components are quite complete.
Live bait
The use of live bait has always been mixed, because the nutritional value of live bait is far better than that of artificially treated feed, but it is accompanied by safety problems. As owners, we must not be careless, otherwise the sequelae will make you feel that it is better to just feed!
At present, the safest live bait should be shrimp (nauplii)! It doesn't take too long to prepare, and it doesn't need too many procedures. However, after hatching, it should be fed as soon as possible, because the most nutritious thing for nauplii is that when they just hatch with yolk sac, if the time is too long, the yolk has been absorbed by nauplii, so the nutritional value will be slightly discounted. If netizens have the habit of incubating bumper shrimp to feed peacocks, if there are more hatched bumper shrimp, they can be frozen, and they can be used when feeding next time, as long as they are thawed.

My little tropical fish (guppies ..) can never keep alive! !
I have kept peacocks for many years, and I have encountered the situation you mentioned before.
(1) You said that one batch died and bought another batch to keep for a year. The reason is that many fish look very energetic in the pet store, but in fact, there are drugs in the water. People in pet shops buy fish from farmers, but after a large number of long-distance transportation, they are not clean, and many fish are actually sick. And these fish live in a fish tank, and infection is imperative. In response to this measure:
Observe whether the fish is healthy (including whether the fins are damaged, whether they swim happily and have spirit)
Second, add a small amount of chloramphenicol and other drugs (different drugs in different situations) to the water immediately after buying it home.
Observe the bought fish, and isolate them immediately if they are listless or faulty to avoid infection.
Fourth, it is best to isolate and observe when you buy it (buy less at a time).
Go to a reputable store.
(2) When you look at it, you will see that it is stuck at the mouth of the pipe where oxygen circulates. You need to cover it with a cover or change it to a small one.
(3) Dear, you need to buy some books to introduce the diseases of common tropical fish, so that it is beneficial for observation and treatment when choosing fish again.
I'm here to introduce some common ones.
First, the fish swims very fast. (much higher than the average fish) because there are parasites on him, so don't choose such a fish.
Second, gastroenteritis fish eat more, but more and more. This kind of fish is hopeless, and it spreads quickly.
(3) colds and septicemia caused by colds,
Four-ball disease requires careful observation that there are thin spots on the fins, which are generally incurable and contagious quickly.
Five scales are easy to observe, that is, the fins are blown up, and it is easy to observe. And the mother fish has this disease, and so do the small fish.
I hope it helps you.
Why can't the peacock fish be kept alive?
Well done, I've been like a fish 10 years, and I have to breed a large number of larvae every year. Newborn larvae should be raised separately. It is said that the larvae can swallow food as big as their eyes, and the cooked egg yolk can solve the bait problem of the larvae. Or the jumping worm breeds quickly, which is the best bait for the larvae. If you feed the chicken egg yolk, you should change the water frequently, and the egg yolk will easily deteriorate the water and cause the death of the larvae.
Why can't a guppy keep alive after dumping a small fish?
Hello: The guppy is a tropical fish, although it is easy to raise. It is best to separate it from the small fish at a temperature of about 25 degrees after delivery. In addition, let the mother fish rest for 2 days after delivery, and then put it into a big fish tank. Otherwise, you may be injured and tired to death because of the chase of the male fish. I wish you success in raising fish!

Why can't the peacock fish be kept alive?
Dig alive! I raised a big fish and took it out after giving birth to a small fish. I put the small fish in a spacious place to keep enough oxygen and raise it well.
Why can't all the anchovies I bought be kept alive?
How big is the fish you bought? What will you put in the future after you buy it? Fish tank or aquarium? How big is it? What is the water for fish farming? Tap water? How long after you bought it? Did you feed?
Why can't anchovies and big-eyed fish be fed together?
Anchovies are tropical fish, and big-eyed fish are cold fish. One is afraid of cold and the other is afraid of heat.
The anchovies raised at home gave birth to a colorless little fish and lived for several months. What caused the sudden sinking? 5 points.
There should be a little problem, I don't know exactly. Touch it gently with a small stick to see if it still moves.
Can anchovies feed without oxygen pump?
Anchovies are also called peacock fish, and D can certainly be used. Moreover, ovoviviparous fishes such as peacocks are quite resistant to hypoxia. It is important to keep the water quality of peacocks well. Peacocks are new water suitable for weak alkalinity (when the water body is aging and sour, peacocks are easy to dissolve their tails). Change the water about two or three times a week, changing one-third of the water each time, and at most, do not change half a tank.
