What can I keep with guppies?

[Tropicallie]

Have a 26 g bow front with two guppies, some glow fish, and an african dwarf frog. I want to get a bigger fish to fill some space in the middle. What would go well with those guys?

 

[LyndaB]

Do you have plans on keeping the frog? You're a bit limited because frogs don't have good vision and it's easy for the fish to eat all of their food, unless you spot feed. That's why most recommend species only tanks for ADF.

With guppies and glofish, you wouldn't want to get anything so big that it could eat them.

Your choices are vast. Do you have any particular species that you like that we can work around or do you just want suggestions?

Dwarf Gourami? Blue Rams?

 

[Tropicallie]

I do spot feed my ADF (usually he is in his own tank but I had to turn it into a sick tank temporarily, he will eventually go back home). I really like balloon rams but I'll nervous about them beating up the guppies.

Those are pretty! I'm also looking for something colourful.

My male emperor will change color when he's around my females. His dark line will disappear and he will turn purple its amazing to watch.

What else is in your tank?

 

[butterfly_koi]

Guppies
Platies
Emperor tetras
Balloon Mollies
Neon tetras
And a pleco which is going to be rehomed as soon as possible (he will get too big for my tank)

I have a male tank with guppies and balloon Mollies

And I have a nursery tank with guppy and platy fry

 

[Tropicallie]

I was thinking about balloon bellies for a while. Maybe that's what I'll do

 

[butterfly_koi]

What sex are your guppies

 

[Tropicallie]

Males. I had females for a while but I got tired of dealing with the fry so I gave them away.

some fish keepers don't like balloon Mollies because its a actually a deformity of the Molly. Allot of people are not aware of this. Its bred to have a curved spine

Back onto topic, if your looking for something colorful why not look into a peacock goby?

 

[butterfly_koi]

This is a peacock (my dream fish!)
