Guppies are energetic, colorful livebearers that are widely considered one of the best choices for both new and experienced hobbyists. To build a thriving aquarium for them, focus on these core requirements:
 
Feeding: Guppies are omnivores. Feed them high-quality flake food or small pellets 1–3 times daily, supplemented with treats like frozen brine shrimp or bloodworms.
Stocking Ratio: To prevent males from harassing females, maintain a ratio of one male for every 2–3 females.
Tank Mates: They are peaceful and pair well with Neon Tetras, Corydoras catfish, and Platies. Avoid aggressive "fin-nippers" like Tiger Barbs.
