Guppy fish, formally called Poecilia Libestes Reticulata, is a very popular tropical fish.  Guppy fish can breed very easily since it gives birth to free swimming fry instead of laying eggs. Guppy fish are ideal fish to care and maintain for novice aquarium starters since they are non-aggressive and easy to keep.  It is found in most parts of the world, and also the wild.

Guppies should be fed once or twice a day with flaked tropical fish food. Just as with any other fish, it is important not to overfeed them. If they’re not consuming the food after a couple of minutes, that indicates that you’re feeding them too much at one serving.
