When you look at the lists and have all of them in one 160 litre tank 😅😅
Only one I don’t have is WCMM, that’s in a 60l tank lol
I have a 20l yank..
you should uprade@@GamingWithDachi
I have 2 male endler hybrid guppies in with my celestial pearl danios. They seem to be good dither fish for the CPD's, they come out a lot more since I added the "boy goops". 😊
Here in South America our neons have to be in acidic pH, unless the breeder tells you they're adapted to alkaline water. Guppys like alkaline and hard water. It seems unnatural to me to keep them both together (and with any tetras, tbh). Platys can also nip the fins of male guppies. The only one I would totally agree in this list would be the ottos and corys.
Also Mollies
Glow light tetras are crazy fin nippers in my opinion.
I’ve never really found that to be the case. 🤷🏻♂️
I agree. Use to attack my betta
I would always havta go wit shrimp for tank mates
I have guppies, molly,s, platys, swordtail, kulhi loach, apple snail and green corydoras in 1 community tank
Just bought panda corydoras for my guppies (there in 75 liter aquarium)
Nice 👍🏻
Is betta fish leave with guppy and neon tetra
Is black molly and molly can too? I have it on my tank with guppys..
Yep, they will work well too 👍🏻
Can I keep Guppie Molly and Platy in the same tank ??
Should work fine 👍🏻
zebra danios also
I also recommend shrimp or snails of any kind (not assassin snails) or hill stream loaches
I have 4 of those, need to build a new community tank and add some more of some of these.
Mate one question will my molly eat my cherry shrimps I just got them and I am scared if they will eat it please advice and also which betta is ur fav thx mate love from Sydney Australia ❤❤
Hi. The chances are your molly will eat some of your Cherry shrimp. However you can increase the odds in favour of the shrimp by making sure there are plenty of hiding places in the form of rock piles and live plants.
Platys should be number 2
👍🏻
How about the glow tetras? Are they good tank mates for guppies?
Yeah, I think they will be a good tank mate 😎
I have 5 male guppies, 6 otos, and added my plakat betta...Ill be adding green tetras soon
Sounds like a great set up 👍🏻
My guppies live with Platys, Swordtails, GloFish, Clown Pleco (can grow 3-4 inches)
Uhm I have a tank with about 2 albino corydoras and the store I bought from only had 2 and im on a budget I have a 10 gallon tank for these guys and I know that they need a community tank but I cant really find any good tank mates besides guppies but guppies are to fragile for me they came with a bit of parasites and died so are neon tetras a good one?
Neon Tetras could work
Can I do the Molly too
Yep 👍🏻
Can goldfish stay with guppies? Me and my sister are getting guppies sometime soon but my sisters wants a goldfish and I was unsure so that’s why I ask! :3
I have 5 female guppies with 14 neon tetras and everyday my guppies tails are getting nipped and splits. How can I stop the neons doing this to them? (I dont want to have too many guppies as I would like to keep some of the babies over time).
Plath and guppies like hard water, neons like soft water so not ideal ?
In this day and age, the majority of neons sold in stores are captive bred at various locations around the world. The majority have never been in soft water and do absolutely fine in hard water 👍🏻
Swordrail carp also
Great list! Love your videos 💙

@@FishKeepingAnswers 🙌
could i keep guppies in a 5gal? maybe with some shrimp? and i dont really want to breed any so would it be possible to only keep male guppies or would they be aggressive?
Hi. I keep 5 male guppies in a 7 gallon tank. It works well for me 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers thank you!!
@@mirandag.3277 don’t thank him for his Idiocracy. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
What he said wasnt okay, its evil. It’s evil to keep fish in such small containers.
It’s abuse
🐬🐟🦈🐳🐋🐳
What about Mollies 😕😕
Good choice 👍🏻
Thanks but my guppies dies very fast btw love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Cardinal tetras are just bigger neon tetras
Apart from the fact they are a whole different species, you are right 👍🏻
which would you recommend for a 20 gallon with 6 guppies (2 males 4 females)? i was thinking of doing some pygmy cory’s and some zebra danios but
I was wondering what you recommend and the amount i should get? i don’t want to over crowd my tank but i also don’t want any of my fish to be sad because they don’t have enough buddies
or do you think a 20 gallon isn’t going to be big enough for a guppy community tank? 😊
I have a 60 gallon tank with 7 guppies.
I think 20 gallon would be too small as they do breed alot
@@iiv.dannyboi Right now i do have them in a 20 gallon and they’ve been in there for a bit now, about 2 months, i was gonna move up to a 40 gallon tank but i have noticed that they aren’t exactly breeding or at least the babies aren’t surviving till adult hood or even teenagers. i believe they are eating the babies, although i don’t exactly mind as i don’t need a bunch of fish everywhere😅They were my pond fish over the summer that i brought in pretty early and when i was scooping them out, scooped out 3 babies and those r in a little breeding thingy in the big tank and they r slowly growing. but there’s no other babies than that. :/ i wonder if it is because the tank is smaller so the fish are eating them.
Do you think that a 40 gallon would be big enough? (right now there’s no fin nipping within my tank btw but i would just like them to have enough space to be comfortable)
@priscillaspets can guppies even live in ponds? As guppies are tropical fish.
Well guppies do eat their own babies so it's good to put plants in your tank
@@iiv.dannyboi Yes they can in right conditions, just comes with risks like predators and stuff. I did have a heater in there and it was a small pond so i could monitor it😊They only lived in there for a couple months over the summer and actually all of them survived (with the 3 babies as well)
Dwarf Gourami??
Yeah, I find they work really well with guppies, especially if you want to keep the guppy population under control 👍🏻
Would guppies work with glofish in a 10 gallon tank? And how many can I put?
I would add half a dozen male guppies. Would work a treat in a 10 gallon with glofish 😎
@@FishKeepingAnswersThere is one more question I've wanted answered for a lot time and that is: Is there any type of shrimp I can keep with glofish in a 10 gallon tank?
If you provide sufficient cover in the form of rock piles and/or live aquatic plants, then there is a good chance you could keep some Cherry Shrimp in there 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers Could ghost shrimp work because I only have seen those in stores near me, but I have never seen cherry shrimp
Yep! 👍🏻
Do they eat each other egg and fry😅
What about zerba dainos?
Great choice 👍🏻
At +1 Betta
Can I keep Glofish and guppies in One tank
Should be fine 👍🏻
Dwarf gourami will cause stress in your tanks I think.
They easily eat the guppie babies
I haven’t found that to be the case. 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers but you have with the own mothers of the fish right?
Like you wouldn’t support having guppie babies in a tank without cover right?
@@FishKeepingAnswers if the own mothers do it, I don’t see why a fish with a bigger mouth wouldn’t. It’s just easier for them to do it
Without sufficient cover, ANY fish will eat guppy babies. I could keep guppy babies with Oscars if there was sufficient cover.
@@FishKeepingAnswers don’t you think the guppie babies knows theirs extra danger in the tank though and that will lead to them being stressed out little creatures?
Like different from cory catfishes. Don’t you think the guppies know about the danger?
White clouds wouldn't work because of the temperature, white clouds need cold water while guppies need warm water
I disagree. Guppies are fine in cool water. I keep mine unheated. Also WCMM do fine in heated aquariums 👍🏻
I would disagree neons prefer a ph of 6.8-7.5 while guppie sprefer 8 or higher
👍🏻
My guppies are currently in a ten gallon tank but im upgrading to a 20. Here is my idea for stocking:
- 6 male guppies
- 1 honey gourami
- 8 chili rasboras
- 8 pygmy corydoras or cardinal tetras
- 10 cherry shrimp
I want the cories, my brother wants the cardinals. Tough decision!
Looks like a great set up to me 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers would you do the cories or the Cardinals?
In that set up? The Corys 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers thanks!
What about mollies ?
Can be a little boisterous, but it’ll work 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers thank you
I have my fatty goldfishs with guppy. Guppies are safe because goldfishes are too chonky to move fast 😅
I added some shrimp to my tank and I'm pretty sure my guppies ate them all bc I don't see any shrimp 😒
😕
What about zeebra 😊
🤔
I said we can get zeebra danio is tank mate
My neon tetra was just killed by guppies
It happens 😞
My dwarf gourami which looked exactly like that one killed six guppies
You occasionally get bad apples. I recently had a female guppy that had to be housed alone because she was just evil 👿
Man him saying the dwarf gourami was good is a mistake I think.
My gouramies cause havoc in my tank for my guppies.
They were so much less stressed without him in the tank
Can we keep betta fish with guppies?
Not an ideal pairing as the Betta might see the guppy as a rival 😕
I have betta in a guppy tank no problemo
What about molly fish
My guppy killed my platy
😞
Betta☠️💀☠️
Molly
11. BETTA😂
Bro you forgot to tell female betta Fry's
🤦🏻♂️
Molly fish
What about Mollies? 🤔
Great choice. Truth be told, I probably could have made this list ‘the top 50…..’ but had to keep it under 60 seconds 😞
Fish
11.oscae
Oscar fish
I think they came in at number 12 🤔
