✂️ Care

After bringing the fish home, allow it to acclimatize for at least 15–20 minutes by floating the bag in the aquarium, and gradually mix in aquarium water before releasing the fish. Guppies are omnivores and eat flake food, granules, and occasionally live/frozen food. Keep them as a pair, school, or even individually — avoid too many males with too few females to prevent stress.

🐠 Combination Tip

Guppies combine well with other peaceful community fish such as tetras, platies, and corydoras. Avoid large or aggressive species.
