In its natural environment in South America and the Caribbean, guppies are often found as isolated breeding populations. In its native range, the guppy can be found in small streams and ponds of virtually any size. In Trinidad they are colloquially known as "millions" because of their fecundity.

In many countries with tropical, subtropical and mediterranea climates where guppies were not originally present, they have escaped from captivity and established naturally breeding ("feral") populations. It has also been introduced to some areas to keep down the mosquito population and help fight malaria, usually with mixed or negative results to the local ecosystem. Other fishes that have been introduced to this end include the goldfish.


There is a great deal of variety between the populations, many with distinctive coloring or patterning. Those that live in habitats where predators are common tend to be less vividly decorated. Populations that deal with fewer predators are much more colorful. Recent studies suggest that vividly colored males are favored via sexual selection while natural selection via predation favors subdued tones. As a result, the dominant phenotypes observed within a reproductively isolated community are a function of the relative importance each factor has in a particular environment.

Answer 3

Guppies have been raised in captivity for so long that releasing them at this point would be a cruel and heartless thing to do. They wouldn't survive 2 hours in any open waterway.

Answer 4

Just make sure you only free them into the hands of your LFS or an owner who can use them as feeders. To release them into your local waterways is illegal, and could wind you up in jail.

Answer 5

If you know anyone who has fish that eat small feeder fish give it to them. Or ask a petstore. It is illegal to release them in lakes and ponds.

Answer 6

Cuba, Haiti and Central America
take your fish back home

Answer 7

Bring them to a pet store, like Petco. Most will take them, and adopt them out.

Answer 8

My pet turtle loves eating guppies! Send me a message if you want to send them to me and I will arrange payment. (my petstore charges 10 cents (usd) per fish)

You do realise that these fish are pets don't you? It is not only illegal to realise them, but they are demosticated and will die if put into the wild. If you don't want your pet fish give them to somone who does want them. (like me?)

Answer 9

Guppies are prey fish. No matter where you put them, they will definitely die.

Answer 10

Releasing un-indigenous fish into your local water ways is unethical and illegal.
