The guppy fish (guppies / guppies) Area of origin: Central America to Brazil, today mostly captive bred from Asia (Singapore). Social behaviour: Livebearers. Some parents chase their young immediately after birth. No brood care, otherwise very peaceful Keeping conditions: The persistent guppy can be kept in almost any aquarium. High-breeding guppies are sensitive. pH 5.5 - 8.5 (7.0); hardness 5 - 25 (15) dGH. Well-planted tank of any size if possible. Breeding: Surface plants such as floating ferns for random breeding. Targeted breeding only possible with spawning box. 20 - 40 young, males sexually mature at three months, females earlier. Stock insemination possible. Raise fry with Artemia, powdered food and powdered flake food. Standard forms: European guppy breeders currently recognise 12 different standards, which can be divided into three classes. The classes are the large-finned breeding forms (fantail, triangle-tail, veiltail and flag-tail), the swordtype class (double-sword, top-sword, bottom-sword and lyre-tail) and the short-tail class (spade-tail, spear-tail, round-tail and needle-tail). In addition, there is an almost infinite number of colours in the animals in each class and in each standard, which are usually judged separately at shows. Here are the individual standards: Fantail The tail fin has an elongated triangular shape with an angle of 45 degrees close to the body. Its ideal length is equal to the body length. The edges are straight, the transitions can be slightly rounded. The dorsal fin is pointed, rises steeply at the base and extends to the end of the first third of the caudal fin Triangle tail The tail fin has the shape of a triangle with an angle of 70 degrees close to the body. Its length is 80% of the body length. The edges are straight, the transitions can be slightly rounded. The dorsal fin rises steeply, is broad and extends bluntly to the end of the first third of the caudal fin. Veiltail The upper and lower edges of the caudal fin form curves which run in such a way that the greatest width of the fin is reached at 75% of its length. The rear edge is concave, the length is 80% of the body length and should not be less than 50%. The fin width is 3/4 of the length. The dorsal fin has a rounded end and extends to the end of the first third of the caudal fin. Bannertail The tail fin has the shape of a rectangle, the length of which is 8/10 of the body length. The fin width is 4/10 of the body length. The base of the fins is rounded. Minimum tail length 6/10 of the body length. Minimum width the largest body width. The dorsal fin extends to the end of the first third of the caudal fin and is pointed. Double sword The caudal fin has an oval basic shape with sword-shaped extension of the upper and lower fin rays. The length of the fins corresponds to the length of the body. The outer edges form an angle of 30 degrees. The part of the fins between the blades must not exceed 4/10 of the body length and can be colourless. Here too, the dorsal fin extends to the end of the first third of the caudal fin. The dorsal fin is slender, rises steeply at the base and is pointed at the end. Topsword The caudal fin has an oval basic shape with a sword-shaped extension of the upper fin rays. The length of the sword corresponds to the length of the body and runs at the upper edge at a 15 degree angle or parallel to the body axis. The basic oval shape must not exceed 4/10 of the body length and can be colourless. The dorsal fin is slender and extends, as usual, tapering to the end of the first third of the caudal fin. Bottom sword The caudal fin has an oval basic shape with a sword-shaped extension of the lower fin rays. The length of the sword corresponds to the body length and forms an angle of 15 degrees to the body axis at its lower edge. The basic oval shape must not exceed 4/10 of the body length and can be colourless. The dorsal fin is slender, rises steeply at the base and reaches out to where? To the end of the first third of the caudal fin, of course. Lyretail The caudal fin has approximately the shape of a lyre. The basic shape is round and must not exceed 4/10 of the body length. The outer fin rays reach 8/10 of the body length with the tips clearly bent outwards. The dorsal fin rises steeply and reaches the end of the first third of the caudal fin with an upwardly curved tip. Spade tail The shape of the tail fin resembles a miner's spade. The upper and lower fin borders, which stand out from the body with a clear projection, are parallel. Their length corresponds to half the body length, the height reaches 8/10 of the fin length. The dorsal fin extends pointedly from the base of the caudal fin to the end of the first third of the caudal fin. Speartail The shape of the tail fin resembles the tip of a spear. Its length is 8/10 of the body length, the height 6/10 of the fin length. The dorsal fin rises steeply and reaches the end of the first third of the caudal fin with an upward curved tip. Roundtail The caudal fin has a circular shape, the diameter is 5/10 of the body length The dorsal fin extends roundly to the base of the caudal fin. Needletail The tail fin has a circular shape, the length of which is 4/10 of the body length. The centre fin rays are elongated like needles. The total length of the fin corresponds to the body length. The dorsal fin is slender, rises steeply at the base and tapers to the end of the first third of the caudal fin. Special features: The guppy's ability to breed quickly, its variability in shape and colour and its endurance make it one of the most popular fish for beginners. Recently, the guppy has been reclassified as a member of the genus Lebistes. It is therefore correctly called Lebistes reticulatus again. Do not socialise guppies with fighting fish. The fins of the males are eaten by the fighting fish of both sexes.Source reference: Mergus Atlas Volume 1If you have any questions or problems, our trained team is at your disposal at Zoo Roco.

Eleocharis pusilla - Dwarf needle sedge max. growth height - 6 cm Country of origin Australia, New Zealand Suitability Aquascaping, community aquarium, NanoCube Type Stolons family Cyperaceae Genus Eleocharis Propagation Stolons, division Growth rate   pH 5 - 7 Water hardness 2 - 8 °dh Notes   The dwarf needle sedge Eleocharis pusilla is native to Australia and New Zealand, where it colonises wetlands with different water levels. In contrast to Eleocharis acicularis, its growth height is significantly shorter, usually only a few centimetres high. Another distinguishing feature is the light green, slightly curved stems of the dwarf needle sedge. This grass plant grows optimally in cooler water; it cannot tolerate permanently higher temperatures above 25° C. For stone layouts in the style of Iwagumi, this delicate beauty is ideal for creating a fresh "summer meadow". Like the needle sedge, the dwarf needle sedge is also easy to cut back, making the plant even denser and more compact.Aquatic plants in vitroIn vitro plants are cultivated in the laboratory under sterile conditions. They are supplied in a 7cm closed container. The small plants are completely free of algae and snails and can be planted directly. This product group is ideal for smaller aquariums and nano cubes as well as for modern aquascaping. You can easily see how demanding each plant is by looking at the top right-hand corner of the packaging. Before planting, simply rinse off the culture medium and portion out the plant
