Guppies are native to freshwater habitats in South America, particularly in countries like Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana. They are adaptable and can thrive in various aquatic environments.
Tank setup:
For optimal care, a well-maintained aquarium with a minimum capacity of 10 gallons is recommended. Provide a mix of live plants, hiding spots, and open swimming areas. Guppies prefer a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C) and a pH level between 6.8 and 7.8.
