CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How long does it take for a guppy to grow up?

Experts answer: Guppies can normally mature in 3-6 months, and their growth and development speed is relatively fast.

However, the exact time it takes for them to reach adulthood depends on the way they are raised. If the environment they grow in is relatively comfortable and they have sufficient nutrition and food, they may be able to mature in about 3-4 months.

If they live in a harsh environment and food is scarce, it will take them 5-6 months to reach adulthood.

Knowledge expansion: Guppies can reproduce after they become adults. Their reproduction method is different from that of other fish. Guppies are ovoviviparous fish. The young fish are born after they mature in the body. They will start giving birth about one month after mating. When the fetal spots on their abdomen turn black, it means that they are about to give birth. The young fish are not very adaptable to the environment when they are born. When they are raised artificially, try to ensure that the living environment of the young fish is stable. In particular, the water temperature and water quality should not change too much.
