Advice Needed

Questions again lol
I have 6 neon going to up too 10
2 male 2 female plattys up females to 4
wants 5 guppysmale) but will the hound the female plattys?? Or am I better getting 3 male 6 female guppys?
Will
10 neons
6 plattys
9 guppys
be too much for a 90l tank?? Will the fry live or be eaten?

In theory the guppies shouldn't bother the platties, but i have a male guppy that won't leave a male balloon molly...

I personally don't think your tank would be over stocked with 10 neons, 6 platties and 6 guppies. I wouldn't have 9 though. The platties can grow a fair size, but 6 should be fine in a tank of your size.

As for fry, i would get a breeding trap if you want to keep some of them.

i totally agree with minnnt

I don't want any fry but I have 2x male and female plattys now so been advised to add 2 more female?? And I wanted just male guppys but worried about them hounding the 4 females?

I think your number sound fine. I have two guppies constantly with a molly one time, they were inseparable even though they had plenty of their own species in there.

Good luck with your new fish.

so u think
10 neons
6 plattys 2 male 4 female
5 male guppys will be ok? would also like a small plec in the furture

I've never seen the point of plec's, having kept a few I generally spent ages wondering if they were still in the tank until I'd rescape and find them attached to some bog wood.

6-8 panda corys would go nicely with that setup though (as long as it's a fine substrate like sand rather than gravel) and 3 oto's.

promise not to get a pleco? lol they get so huge and even a typical 55 gallon cant hold it! account for the adult size of almost 2 feet lol so def go with corys or otos

 

[Smithers13]

Ok no plec! Just worried about getting 5 male guppys? Don't want the poor female plattys running for there lives lol

I disagree - plecs are great! Not all plecs are huge - bristle nose plecs only grow to about 4 inches - mine are always around and about in the tank and never hide away!

Your female platties will be harrassed constantly by the males anyway and spend their lives pregnant! As for the male guppies they are notorious sex pests and a law unto themselves! I had one which constantly followed a black phantom tetra around!
