Product Description:

The optimum temperature for the guppy tank is between 22 and 25 C degrees ( 71 -77 Fahrenheit ). They can survive for some time in lower temperatures but it is not recommended. Same thing for higher temperatures, but these will speed up their metabolism a lot so they will live shorter lives (but will grow faster). The heater is necessary during the winter only, and that is only if your room temperature drops a lot. I am for simple things in life and aquarium, so I’ve never used heaters for my guppies – and they are just fine, because the room temperature doesn’t drop too low in winter. The temperature variations are really bad for the fish, especially for the fries and the pregnant guppy females, so keep this in mind please. When you add water in the tank, please make sure it has the same temperature.

The PH of the water should be around 7. It is known that guppies don’t do too well in acidic water, so higher than 7 is anyway better than lower. If you change larger amounts of water, make sure you don’t change more than 50% of the water because this might produce a PH shock in your fish and will kill most of them.

The tap water is fine as long as you remove the chlorine from it. You can remove the chlorine from water by boiling it, by letting it sit in large buckets for 2 days or by using anti-chlorine products that remove the chlorine instantly.
