Live Bearers Fish for sale in Droylsden, Greater Manchester

6 Live Bearers Fish for sale in Droylsden, Greater Manchester

The Guppy, also known as Millionfish or Rainbow Fish, originates from northeast South America including Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, Venezuela, and Brazil. These small fish measure 3-6 cm, with males showcasing vibrant colours and extravagant tail fins, while females are larger and more subdued. Guppies are peaceful and social but males may chase females persistently. They are ideal for beginners and suit community tanks, thriving in well-planted tanks of at least 20 litres. Maintaining a tank temperature between 22-28°C with a pH of 7.0-8.0 is essential in the UK due to cooler ambient temperatures. Guppies are omnivores, enjoying flakes, micro-pellets, and live foods. Other popular livebearers in the UK include Platies and Swordtails; however, guppies remain the cheapest and easiest to find, commonly under searches like "guppies for sale near me" or "guppy fish price pets at home." Their prolific breeding and adaptability make them a favourite for UK aquarists seeking vibrant, low-maintenance tropical fish with a lively temperament and suitability for beginner to community aquariums.

FAQs

What are livebearers in the aquarium context?

Livebearers are fish that retain their eggs inside their bodies until the young are fully developed and then give birth to live, free-swimming offspring rather than laying eggs. This reproductive method is common among popular aquarium species such as guppies, mollies, platies, Endler's livebearers, swordtails, and mosquitofish.

How many livebearers should be kept together in an aquarium?

It is advisable to keep several pairs of the same livebearer species together to minimise aggression and promote a healthy social environment. The exact number depends on the tank size and species, but maintaining multiple males and females helps ensure harmonious behaviour.

What are the benefits of keeping livebearers in an aquarium?

Livebearers offer several benefits including having larger and more developed fry at birth which are easier to care for, higher survival rates of the young, and their hardiness and adaptability to a range of water conditions make them suitable for beginners. They also typically do well in community and planted tanks when there is ample cover for the fry to hide.
