Guppies are peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful small to medium-sized tropical fish. They are active and lively, and highly adaptable to their environment. Guppies are very adaptable and prefer slightly alkaline water. They have a wide diet, eating plankton, small insects, and debris. In captivity, both animal and plant-based foods can be given, with live daphnia being ideal.
