Sera Guppy Granules

Sera Guppy Granules

Sera Guppy Granules is a colour-enhancing staple fish food made for guppies and other livebearing toothcarps. The soft, fine, slow-sinking granules combine plant and animal ingredients with natural carotenoids to support healthy digestion and bright, natural colour. It suits South African hobbyists who want a dependable daily dry food for a community tank or a dedicated livebearer setup.

Key Benefits

• Natural colour enhancement: Spirulina, which is high in carotenoids, Haematococcus algae and paprika supply natural carotenoids that bring out your fishes' colours.
• Healthy digestion: Fibre-rich herbal ingredients such as alfalfa, stinging nettle, parsley, spinach and carrots help keep the gut working well.
• Prebiotic effect: Mannan oligosaccharides (0.4%) give the food a prebiotic effect that benefits overall health.
• Easily digestible: This staple food is formulated to be easy on small livebearer digestive systems.
• Supports healthy offspring: High-quality proteins and fats plus natural minerals support healthy fry and help prevent nutritional deficiencies.
• Balanced plant and animal blend: The mix of herbal and animal ingredients reflects what guppies eat in the wild.
• No dyes or preservatives: Like all sera aquarium foods, it belongs to the sera "Nature" range and is made without dyes or preservatives.
• Keeps water clear: The granules soften quickly in water but hold their shape for a long time, so they don't cloud or pollute the aquarium.
• Slow-sinking texture: The soft, fine granules drift down slowly, which suits the small mouths and mid-water feeding style of livebearers.

Why a Varied Diet Matters

In nature, guppies eat both plant material, such as algae, and small animal organisms. A good guppy diet should therefore be varied. A high-quality, easily digestible dry food like Sera Guppy Granules reliably provides all the important nutrients as the everyday base. Adding frozen or live food alongside it encourages the fishes' natural hunting behaviour and adds variety.

How to Use

• Sprinkle a small amount of granules onto the water surface and let them sink slowly through the tank.
• Feed only as much as your fish eat within a short time.
• Use as the staple dry food, and supplement regularly with frozen or live food for variety.

Dosage

Feed once or twice daily, giving only as much as the animals eat within a short time. Uneaten food breaks down and adds to the waste load. This is worth keeping in mind during hot South African summers, when warmer water holds less oxygen.

Will Sera Guppy Granules cloud my aquarium water?
No. The fine granules soften quickly but keep their shape for a long time, so they don't cloud or pollute the water. As with any food, feed only what your fish eat within a short time.

How does this food bring out my guppies' colours?
It contains natural carotenoids from spirulina (4%), which is high in carotenoids, along with Haematococcus algae and paprika. No artificial dyes are used.

How often should I feed it?
Once or twice a day, giving only as much as your fish eat within a short time.

Is this the only food my guppies need?
