Guppy is a live bearing species and the most ornamental fish. Among the methods
used to test the activation and motility of guppy’s sperm by using the appropriate
solution. Among the solutions used are water (H2O), saline water (9 ppt), Hanks'
balanced salt solution. based on the experiments performed, there are some results
obtained. Saline water (9 ppt) shows the most effective effect on activation and
motility of sperm. H2O shows the least effective effect. As a conclusion, sperm of
guppy give more reaction on saline water (9 ppt) because guppy need to active their
sperm at a saline water (9ppt) that can active their hormone and sperm activation and
motility.
