The Effect of Different Intensity Water Flow on the Live Weight, Total Length and Tail Length in Male Guppies

In this research, Poecilia reticulata male guppy fish in glass 100 * 35 * 45 size aquariums in different levels of the flow of nature fish live weight, total length and tail length, there was the length. The research was carried out on 3 different groups, each containing 60 fish. The groups consisted of a control group aquarium without surface discharge and two aquariums with a motor flow rate of 550 l h-1 and 880 l h-1. In addition to body measurements taken in fish, measurements of water used were also recorded.The findings of the study showed that the water flow created in the aquarium environment resulted in a significant increase in live weight, total length and tail length in male guppy fishes, thus allowing the female and male fish to be grown simultaneously and presented to the market.
