What Do You Keep With Your Guppies?

[c-dub]

Just wondering what you guys keep with your guppies in a community tank?

I have 17 males in my large community tank and didn't know what else would be a great fish to keep with them...
Something maybe a little bigger to break up the same look.

What do you guys have?

for my guppies i dont keep anything cause i have a 5 gal with 3 adults and 20 fry. but if i would i would keep small fish that cant eat them like tetras or corys a danio snails and shrimp. but they all eat fry except snails .

Was just thinking about something maybe a little bigger that wouldn't see them as a potential MEAL lol

Depends on the size of your tank..

hi, I have about 30 male guppies and 10 platies. A very friendly and happy bunch. The adult male platies are particularly sparky to each other. Plenty of posturing and the odd whizz about, very entertaining. Platies are really hardy. My four males were inherited from someone else when already full grown, nearly a year ago. I have had no platy deaths at all, and only shop bought males in the guppies. That is just the main tank, the nursery has 4 broods since Boxing day. 3 of platies and 1 of guppies . All fine. I cant think of any other type of fish I want. Been there done that.

I have a strange collection in my big community. I have unknown numbers of guppies-all ages and size-with a lonely little cherry barb that's soon moving to a new home, one common pleco, one lonely little Clown Loach, one Inca Gold snail, and 1 red dragon VT Beta (doesn't seem to swim fast enough to catch any viable fry). Have kept Neons and Harlequin Rasbora with my guppies without much fin nipping, though I wouldn't much like either of those two in my tanks again. Not much fun to watch. Same with the cherry barb. I'd get more loaches, but they get very large. Going to have to upgrade major tank sizes to house the plec and loach when they get big enough. Whatever you get, make sure you know the eventual size! =D

I got Cherry shrimp with mine, perfect mix i feel.

I keep almost all of my fish in either a single species setting or with only a few other fish. In the case of guppies, the only thing I have with them are Corydoras pygmaeus.

For quite a while, I had pygmy cories with my guppies. Great mix because the cories hang out at the bottom and the guppies at the top. They NEVER paid any attention to each other. No bickering or anything.
