Goldfish are dirty, they need twenty gallons for the first and ten for each additional. Guppies are tropical, Goldies are cold water fish. As they grow the guppies will start to disappear.

lovefishies, if you only got two snails, it wouldnt be long before they have babies, and then you will have more. then you wont have to worry about your guppies, and the guppies and snails will get along fine.
