Can I Add Livebearers To This Tank ?

[Faythee]

I have a 30 gal. tank that really needs some color. I notice most small colorful fish are livebearers.

I have:
3 Diamond Tetras
1 Gold ram
5 Corys
1 BN Plec

Any suggestions what I could add that would be compatible ?

The BN and the cories are fine with livebearers. I don't know rams or the diamond tetras that well to know.

platies and swords will be fine but the tetra's and rams may easily bully guppies

Thanks ! There is a very pretty Swordtail I have been looking at. Will get him if he is still there. Are they okay on their own ?

I also have a female Betta I am thinking of trying to introduce. She seems so bored in her own tank.

A betta would be a bad idea in a tank where livebearers are marginal. Bettas are much less aggressive and do not swim as fast as a sword or platy. This makes them a target for aggressive fish.
