I bought 5 Leopord Dianos today and in the future im hoping to buy guppies but not sure if there tails will get nipped? I wanted to buy a siamese fighter today aswell but the man showed me what would happen with them and siamese and they all went for its tail immeditatly so i decided it would be cruel.

Im now worried i wont be able to buy guppies cos of their tails?

Also i have a little baby swortail that swims around, Not long ago about two weeks my female had fry and only one survived, I havent got a big tank so didnt get a baby tank for them. And as soon as i put the leopard Dianos in they went for the little baby :l it got away and hid in the plants thankfully. Is there a chance he might get picked on ? :( hes only tiny..

Hes been ok with clown loaches though?:S

Any info please let me kno :)

No danio and guppys a no go area.
Any fish that has long flowing fins.
Ask the lfs to see if they would take the baby swordtail.
 
I've never had a problem with mixing Danios and Guppies, so I've never really considered Danios fin nippers (I have tiger barbs for that! :p)

Although Danios are micro predators and will eat anything they can fit into their mouths, I don't think any fry would last long, unless they have mummy and daddy looknig after them, eg cichlids.

Saying that though, Danios do grow a fair bit bigger than your average Guppy and they do seem to really annoy slower fish.
 
Dammit......Well thats buggered up my plans a bit.. Im a true lover of guppies, absolutly love them!

So may have to think of getting rid of them, Even though they are fun to watch, they give a bit of life to the tank, their really lively and i like that about them.

why dont you get rid of the danios and get some white cloud minnows they are really fun little fish and are fine with guppies IME you can get a few varieties of white clouds , long fins and golden being the fancier ones
BTW what size tank do you have at the moment ?

good luck what ever you decide to do
