Can a Guppy Live Alone?<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

There are several reasons why you might want to keep your guppies in a group, with another species, or even in a separate tank for breeding. Some fish prefer the company of their own species, while others enjoy the company of other, non-aggressive species. Guppies are not particularly emotional animals, but they do have a strong desire to breed.<\/p>\n

Keeping guppies in a group<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Guppies are sociable creatures and are best kept in groups of three or more. Keeping them in a group also ensures that they don\u2019t become aggressive with one another. A recommended ratio for guppies in a group is two females to one male.<\/p>\n

While guppies can live in solo environments, they are happier in a group. They stick together when they feel nervous or when it\u2019s feeding time. They\u2019re also active swimmers and will try to impress the females. Sometimes they\u2019ll get into a fight and end up injured, or even die.<\/p>\n
