Top 10 Tankmates for Guppies (Poecilia reticulata, Million Fish) 

😂

Lol

fr fr 😂

😂

But then he says he will show cardinals and still showsneons haha

I feed my mollies Tetra tropical flakes. Just in case you wanted a easier way of feeding them :)

Idk if that’s a compliment 😂

@@KeepingFishSimple Yes, take it as one!

It is a cardinal tetra silly theres a differnce

He said that

@@lalshortshot2051 it’s not a cardinal the full bottom half of a cardinal is red from nose to tail that’s a neon

@@lalshortshot2051 I’ve kept neon tetras and they have a red rump while cardinals have an entirely red belly.

Some fishes might munch on the guppies fins and some fight with them

They also prefer /giant/ schools.

That's a pretty big problem though. If you're just going to have one problem, that's not a good one to have...

yes they are defo neons not cardinal tetras

u o viously didnt bother listening to him. he literally said he didnt have any footage of cardinal, thats why

Apparently you also need a school of 30+!? Ridiculous! This video is not a good source for information...

Beat me to it. Full of shit

Yep. Not even gunna finish the video.

I mean, they do look incredibly similar

And could easily get mixed up

The only thing with white cloud minnows is they generally like cooler temperatures than guppies (68 to 72F)compared to guppies at 75 to 80F.

Swordtails can be aggressive and do not recommend them for a guppy tank

They could be the actual top 10 lol y u gotta be so rude

Even I had this experience with my mollies n swordtails. They kept nipping eachother n my other fishes. Eventually only 3 of my mollies survived .

@@ManyfacedGod94thank you for sharing that. I thought it was the only one 😂

@@elma6okolad Naah dear. I finally realised even with the planted tank, mollies are the bully fish n nippers. Don't keep them with anyone . They even nipped the plants n destroyed them totally

@@ManyfacedGod94 Plant haters as well 🤣 LOL

@@elma6okolad They just wanna nip everything they find 😂

he said he didn't have Cardinals

Marlene Bolte some neons

And Cory cats

My female guppy yes ,male not 😂

I'm surprised the Oscar didn't eat any.

That must have been until you introduced them to goldfish

there's 2 different species but they do look alike a lot.

Pleco s shouldn’t kill fish at all. It sound to me your guppies had bad genes (thanks inbreeding) and died. That’s what happened to all my guppies. Every single guppy I bought died.

Yes, no cc footage of cardinals

@@KeepingFishSimple oh okay. Nice vid btw 💯

Correct, gouramias are not good fish to keep with guppies. Besides getting to large for the tank potentially, they can become aggressive and if you want babies you definitely will not have any with them.

I would get a breeding net to put in the tank. I would also have six female guppies and three female platties. It’s a good ratio to have. A good rule of thumb is to keep three females to every one male because if there’s an even number of fish he has no choice to only harass those females. This is a good way to not only prevent stress but also prevent to many pregnant fish at once.

I wouldn’t advise it because guppies usually have fancy tails and betta might think it’s another betta. Also some bettas just don’t like tank mates at all. If your looking for a tank mate for a betta or guppies I would go with a snail for a betta and probably mollies or Cory cats for guppies

i dont know man , i have that small stripe gourami about 4 mounts now , with guppies , never happened something , but i must say its a pretty large tank , like 200 litres ^_^

@@CarpathianWolves 200 litres? That's about 50 gallons, right? (Sorry, I'm an American... yeah, I know, I know! lol) But, yeah, that's a big tank, and I suppose if you have a regular feeding schedule, there's nothing to worry about, but yeah, personally, I would never put any aggressive or semi-aggressive fish in with passives in a 20 gallon tank (75 litres) which is what most people have, I would assume! I have 8 small regular Goldfish, 1 small Pleco, 1 small Shebunkin (I'll be getting 2 more soon), 1 Julii Cory and 1 Peppered Cory, and 2 male and 2 female Fancy Guppies, and one regular female Guppy, all this in a 20 gallon show tank. I had 3 ghost shrimp, too, but I can't see 2 of them (of course, they are difficult to see)... They could be hiding in the plants, but I'm assuming the Pleco accidentally ate them! oops! lol :-) I didn't know about Cherry Shrimp until I saw one of this guy's videos! I'm going to see if I might be able to get a couple of these around here! They look so cool! :-) Oh, I live in So. California, in case you were wondering!

200 Litres it’s about 65 gallons , and you have a lil bit too much fish for that tank , your tank is about that gallons, think you get substrate and others in , that makes it even smaller, it’s ok but you have to maintain it weekly or more to be good , and as you said , it’s about space too , I don’t judge you , any keeper does what he think it works . Im from Romania 🇷🇴 . Take care

@@CarpathianWolves Oh, that's bigger than I thought! They are still pretty small... once they grow, I can thin them out a bit. ...and yes I clean it out on a weekly basis. I'm thinking about maybe making another pond, or just get another big tank. I did a video on it if you're interested in seeing it! I just started it up again... haven't had it going for a few years now! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-93YTeL0zsT8.html

Those goldfish of yours , I’ve watched your vid , gets huge .. they will stop grow in your tank , but their organs don’t , if you understand and they will eventually die in time from that , it’s beautiful but it’s a common mistake , watch 10 things about goldfish , that are mistaken , and other big channels , it’s ok to do mistakes but it’s even better to be informed about those animals , why to kill them , when you can enjoy them ? :D , have fun man

It’s too late turning out when I got the guppy it had early stages of fin rot 😥

And he passed

Bummer. I have 3 guppies with red tails and 1 with a blue tail and they ganged up on it. I then went and got 3 more blue guppies and the fin nipping completely stopped. The 1 blue guppy has a little under half it’s tail left but is still going super strong. Felt great to save the dilemma (:

Metz Myrah thAts nice 😔🤗

If their shell is a skinny spiral shape with no point it’s a rams horn. If they have a whorl at the side it’s a mystery snail. If it has a point at the end it’s a pond snail. If it has a long cone shaped shell it’s Malaysian trumped horn. Or if they have Avery round shell sometimes with horns on them it’s a nerite snail. If you have pond snails or trumpet snail get rid of them by using some blanches veggies in a water bottle with the top cut off as a trap. Or you can try aquarium snail rid products but some snails are harder to kill than other. Or you remove them by hand.

I have a blue dwarf gourami with guppies and harlequin rabrosas and have no problems Just watch the gourami before you buy him and get the less aggressive one Good luck

not incompatible

in a small tank

James Merryman ohhhh okay well that makes a lot of sense! So the issues I had in the past came from only having two or three gourami. I think my little buddy is doing okay on his own right now though. I recently almost all of the fish in my biggest tank so I’m very hesitant to make any changes. They only thing that seemed out of whack was a sudden increase in water hardness. I don’t know if that could kill fish but something really affected my stock....

Oh well at least you found out before it was too late

Yes they can.

No home tank should have 5 plecos in it, bet the bio load was nightmarish

Uhhh it was actually most likely the pleco that killed each other. Unless you saw it first hand. But male pleco will fight each other. I don’t know the size of your tank but every pleco need 30 gallons minimum

@@BugTheSandWorm it was 35 gallon

@@BruhImAGirl yeah so it was way to small. Like I said each pleco needs 30 gallons

@@BugTheSandWorm now i have 1 pleco in a 150 gallon pond with 4 goldfish, and in the aquarium im sticking with gouramis. I have 2 pairs of betta, pair of dwarfs and getting chocholate gouramis. (in 4 aquariums)

Nice, what you plan on keeping in it?

@@lalshortshot2051 guppies and a few mollies and platies

Yup gravel is fine as long you feed foods they don't have to dig for. Frozen bloodworms for example vs granules.

Fine smooth gravel with large flat rocks, easy peasy

Do u mind saying which four of those are good? I know this comment was a while ago but I would love to know so I don’t make a mistake

@@delaneysmrz5176 No worries, well in my tank I have chilli rasboras and albino corydoras. If you want corys you will need sand substrate and gravel/rock damages their fins and other parts. But honestly best bet is to Google hard water fish and look at what you think is best for your tank. (Also depends how big your tank is too obvs!)

Carp put out a vitamin b suppressing enzyme that slowly kills other fish (and I wouldn't even put a koi in my little pond). They are not aquarium fish.

@@voluntaryismistheanswer sorry i meant a pond

Well a good rule of thumb to keep in mind is however many inches a fish grows it should have one gallon per inch. So if a fish grows to four inches it should at as a bare minimum four gallons.
