Compatibilty?

[Welshweeks]

Hi All,

Not posted for a while as everything is good in my tank! I've recently started looking at some guppies and would possibly like some males in my tank, the obvious question is are they compatible with my current community stock?

Current stock;

9 x Rummynose Tetra
6 x Five Banded Barbs
2 x Gardineri Killifish (m&f)
6 x Sterbai Corydoras
2 x Ottos
2 x German Rams (m&f)
1 x BN Plecoo
2 x Ghost Shrimp

There are currently no issues in the tank, the Rams and the Killifish are great and there's no dominant fish in the tank. If male guppies are compatible what numbers are they best stocked in?

Thanks.

BUMP!

all male guppies best to keep at least 6 of them may not be compatible with Banded Barbs

I'll never put guppies with Garneri guppy. I keep both here but their be to much for the poor guppies

OK, thanks for the replies.

Never seen a problem with banded barbs and guppies but not a lot of experience keeping them together (as long as they are banded and not tiger)

Wouldn't have thought Killifish in with rams was necessarily a good idea because they like different water stats.

Also, I was under the impression killifish should be kept in groups of 5 or so?

Also what size is the tank and what are your parameters?
