Seven Guppies by NOVICA 
|
"The guppy (Poecilia reticulata), also known as the millionfish, is one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish
species in the world. It is a small member of the Poecilidae family (females 4-6 centimetres long, males 2½ - 3½ centimetres long) and
like all other members of the family, is live-bearing.
Guppies are highly prolific livebearers. The gestation period of a guppy is 21-30 days, with an average of 28 days. After the female guppy is inseminated, a dark area near the anus, known as the gravid spot, will |

"enlarge and darken. Guppies prefer water temperatures of about 27 °C (82 °F) for
reproduction. The female guppy has drops of between 2-100 fry, typically ranging between 5 and 30. From
the moment of birth, each fry is fully capable of swimming, eating, and avoiding danger. After giving birth, the female is ready for
conception again within only a few hours. In fact, guppies have the ability to store sperm, so the females can give birth many times,
after only once breeding with a male.
Young fry take roughly one or two months to reach maturity. In the aquarium, they are usually fed ground flake foods, baby brine shrimp or unless they are put in a separate tank, the babies will eat uneaten food from the adults. In addition, they nibble on algae. |
The guppy has been successfully hybridized with various species of molly (poecilia latipinna/velifera), eg male guppy and female molly. However, the hybrids are always males and appear to be infertile. The guppy has also been hybridized with the Endler's livebearer (poecilia wingei) to produce fertile offspring. The adult guppies sometimes eat their fries; some breeders use a breeder cage to prevent this.
Guppy breeding by Aquarists produces variations in appearance ranging from color consistency to fantails and "spike" Swordtails. Selective breeding has created an avid "fancy guppy" collector group, while the "wild" guppy maintains its popularity as one of the hardiest aquarium fish.

Dear Guppy Fans,
I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
