🤯 Did you know guppies have actually been introduced to parts of the world to help control mosquitoes?

Guppies will happily eat mosquito larvae, and their appetite for tiny live foods is one of the reasons they became useful far beyond the aquarium hobby.

In fact, guppies have been deliberately introduced in some places for mosquito control — although releasing aquarium fish into the wild can also cause serious problems for native wildlife.

It’s a brilliant example of just how adaptable these little fish are.

And that adaptability is one of the things that makes guppies so fascinating to keep — but it doesn’t mean they’ll thrive in just any aquarium.

In Guppies, I explain what they really need when it comes to food, water, tank setup, breeding, and long-term care.

If you think you already know guppies, I suspect there are a few things in this book that might surprise you 👇

🤯 Did you know a female guppy can continue having babies even when there isn’t a male in the tank?

Female guppies are able to store sperm after mating and use it later to fertilise future broods.

So if you buy what you think is a single female guppy from your local fish shop… you might suddenly find yourself with a LOT more guppies than you were expecting. 😂

It’s one of the reasons guppy breeding can become so addictive — and sometimes a little overwhelming!

I go much deeper into how guppies breed, how to recognise pregnancy, what happens when the fry arrive, and how to give them the best chance of surviving in my new book, Guppies.

What if you could look back 12 months from now and know exactly what helped your shrimp thrive… and what caused things to go wrong?

Which water parameters gave you the most babies?

Which changes improved survival?

What happened just before a problem started?

Most shrimp keepers rely on memory.

And memory is terrible. 😂

That’s exactly why I created The Shrimp Keepers Journal.

It gives you one place to record the things that actually matter — your water parameters, changes, observations, breeding results and more — so over time you can start spotting patterns in your own tanks.

Because success leaves clues. 🤔

And so do mistakes.

If you want to become a better shrimp keeper over the next 12 months, start keeping a record today.

You’ve mastered keeping Cherry Shrimp… but are you ready for Crystal Shrimp? 🦐

I’ve been asked to write a book about making that leap—covering the key differences, what needs to change, and the mistakes you’ll want to avoid along the way.

They may look similar, but getting the details right can make all the difference.

Would this book be useful to you? Would you read it? 👀

I’ve written a lot about fishkeeping over the years… but I think this might be the book I’m proudest of.

After the success of The Neocaridina Shrimp Handbook and The Ultimate Betta Handbook, I wanted my new book Guppies to be something really special.

It’s 198 pages packed with practical advice, colour photographs and everything I’ve learned from more than 30 years of keeping and breeding these incredible little fish.

Whether you’re setting up your first guppy tank or you’ve kept guppies for years, I genuinely think you’ll get a huge amount from this book.

Guppies is now available on Amazon 🥳

If you grab an early copy, you’ll be among the very first people in the world to own it.
