Guppy originally live in brackish water marsh. These fish breed by breed so that pembiakan relatively easy. Male parent has a bright color, a slender body, a longer dorsal fin, have gondopodium (in the form of elongated bulge behind pelvic fins), which is a modified anal fin form
long fin. For breeding females have body fat, less bright colors, small dorsal fins, pelvic fins form a smooth fin.In addition to color, form the basis of guppy fish also varied. Guppy is divided based on the tails of the wide tail (tail width), sword tail (long tail), and short tail (short tail). Each variety has 4
forms a tail. The latest varieties Ribbon / Swallow. This is a new variety of the various crosses causing gene mutations are the result of cross breeding of various types of fish.
Guppy breeding by way of a son. Guppy newborn child had to swim properly direct. This occurs because the process of internal fertilization of guppy mating occurs when the organ gondopodium located on the anal fin is inserted into the female egg organ.
Guppy males will chase females ready to mate. Every time a marriage can be 3 times the birth. Time of birth ranged from 3 weeks and a female can produce 60 seed heads.
By understanding the process of conception until the birth of guppy fish, it is necessary to use a method for marriage guppy can be easily regulated and controlled in accordance with our wishes. The downside of guppy breeding is the inaccuracy mainly using mass mating system. Techniques used in producing a superior strain of guppy in with the F4 or also called line system.
To find a good guppy usually can be searched by a female who has a great tail shape. As for the male is usually sought the most bright colors are also dominant. For guppy Ribbon, Ribbon very dominant female, whereas males remain male for normal, so to get a good male guppy Ribbon still needed
normal male. So for this guppy can be sold as a trio.
How to Overcome Disease
DISEASE override common guppy is a fungus. It should be understood mushrooms grow in a way different from bacteria. Mushrooms always grow with the spores and grow under certain conditions. They have developed a particular cycle in the form of spores
then turned into an organism called mycelium.
This fungus can multiply very rapidly, shaped like a yarn / thread and form tissues such as a thin layer. While the bacteria that commonly attack the guppy is piscium mycobacterium, also some other cause.
Need to be considered for effective treatment must perform an accurate diagnosis, so as to overcome the disease arises. Common disease attacks the guppy fish is:
a. Saprolegnia.
The characteristics of the affected fish is white patches on the skin of fish. Treatment is used as drops in alcohol metapen
where as many as 2 drops in one gallon of water / 4 1.12) liters of water. The next step give the salt and let some time.
Give the hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria attached to fishing nets for 15 to 30 seconds. Or it could also be used malachite green or blue or acriflavin methyline as a disinfectant. How to fish treatment that bacterial infection should be given additional space before treating.
b. Swelling or Bloat Disease
Fish was restless, the body looks bigger because of bloating. This is caused by inflammation of the intestine of fish. Isolate the affected fish, and enter into one gallon of water that had been spiked with 2 tablespoons full of salt British. Leave on for 4 or 6 hours, then add water for 12 hours. Once cured can be returned to the place of origin.
c. Mouth Fungus
Feature of the affected fish mouth fungus is easily seen from the white color which is located in front of his mouth. White mushrooms
is a very large colonies that attach to the fish's mouth, so shut the mouth of the fish to eat can not breathe and can cause fish to die. Aureomycin treatment using 25 mg to 1 gallon of water add 1 drop of iodine and metopen 2 drops.
d. Gills Disease
Feature of the affected fish gill inflammation usually caused by viral organisms. Characteristics of this disease gill opening, lazy meal and always above the water surface. The disease is caused by several bacteria and fungi and the most difficult to overcome.
Feature of this fish when dying their gills looked flushed and decompose faster than his body. Some ways you've successfully done is to give metapen mercurochrome soaked some time together and do a treatment with salt water and give a bigger place and spacious.
e. Bloating Disease
The characteristics of the affected fish stomach inflammation, among others, the fish seem to have trouble swimming to the bottom. The fix to give 1 teaspoon salt Britain every 1 / 2 liter of water, and soak the fish for 3 to 4 hours, then move the fish into a place of high altitude water 3 times a fish body. Still there are some diseases that are commonly known, such as aphids or needle.
