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

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.
