    Guppy

    Adaptation
    Guppies are fish that swim very fast. The guppies in our classroom eat the fish food that we give them. They need water to survive. They get their oxygen from the water. Guppies will die without water. Guppies that live in habitats where there are predators are usually less vividly colored or patterned, in order to protect themselves. However, where there are fewer predators, they are very colorful. In the wild, guppies are found in Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Barbados, Guyana, Brazil, Netherlands Antilles, and the US Virgin Islands. Although this tiny freshwater fish generally is found in clear tropical waters, it can also live in brackish water.

    Advantages
    Guppies have been used to help control mosquitoes because they would eat the larvae of the mosquitoes. When the guppies would eat the larvae it would help to slow down the spread of malaria. It is very easy to take care of guppy fish. They are fun to watch too.
