Yes, guppies die easily. Guppies most commonly die as a result of their new fish owners not knowing how to take proper care of them.
Guppies can die because of:
- Overcrowded tank
- Overfeeding
- Poor water quality
- Ammonia poisoning
- Incorrect water temperatures
- Poor genetics
- Aggressive tankmates
When properly taken care of, guppies can live for up to three years. To ensure your guppies live long and healthy lives, feed them a healthy diet, don’t put too much food in the tank, change their water at least once a week, and clean their tank at least once a month.
Lastly, monitor how they interact with their tankmates. Separate them from aggressive tankmates immediately.
