Hi . I have a 60 liter tank where I keep 6 guppies , 1 pleco , 1 black molly and 3 tetra . I want to add 6 more guppies . You guys think it should be alright for them as space wise . All the guppies are males and I want to add males aswell . Filter wise i have a ciano cf80 . Thank u very much

You are already overstocked as it is. I wouldn't put a pleco in a tank smaller than 29 gallons, mollys should really have 20 gallons, and tetras would do better with at least three more. I would upgrade to at least 29 gallon tank. What tetras do you have?

I agree definitely do not add anything else

Also guppies and mollies are hard water fish where tetras are soft water fish.

Thank u . I will upgrade

If you upgrade go for at least a 29. The goldfish need 20 gallons each so factor that in. It may be best to rehome the goldfish

I hope that isn't a common pleco!

No . It's the small ones . Grows around 4-6 Inches

Wait theres a goldfish? @Op I would rehome the goldfish mainly due to the fact that there is definitely a possibility that he'll eat the other fish, especially the guppies.

If you upgrade to a 29 gallon, I would add 5 more tetras(but that depends on WHAT tetras). Once you do that, you could probably fit those extra 6 guppies. Keep in mind if you have any female guppies and or a female molly, they're almost guaranteed to reproduce. And you'll very likely have more than 6 guppies and 1 molly after a while.

Goldfish require different temperatures than tropical fish

I'm going to upset a few people and say no, not necessarily. I don't think goldfish are strictly coldwater fish.

While fancy goldfish are not strictly cold water fish, they do need it slightly cooler than tropical fish.


Maybe I need new glasses but where does it say there is a goldfish in this tank?

True, I do still think they are temp compatible with fish like guppies though. Someone mentioned goldfish... Maybe from another thread or accidental?

I think I got confused? Sorry all!
