15 gal stocking question

[One_Trick_Pony]

but can;t find it so apologies,

thus far it currently homes 5 flame guppies, was thinking of gertting some sunburst guppies as well, and maybe some neons but i'm thinking that this is going to be too mnay, to be hounest i think i need a biggger tanK!!!

For those fish i'd say 20 gallons would be good. Unless your getting some platties or something.

 

[clutterydrawer]

are your guppies male, female or mixed?

 

[One_Trick_Pony]

guppys are and all will be male

You could probably fit 6 neons and a couple more male guppies into the 15 gallon without trouble. Male guppies only grow to about 1.5" max. and the neons aren't particularly messy fish either.

i agree

is the tank about 2' x 1' x 1'? if so, i think you could add either six neons or three ottos or some pygmy cories or a trio of cherry barbs, depending on your personal choice. I have black phantom tetras and panda cories in my 15g. i know its a pain having it such a small tank, but as long as you stick with fish which are small themselves you can make a nice little community.
