Gold Barb

Does anyone know if the gold barb will get along with my 5 guppys and 2 platys?

I would not keep just 1 barb, they are schoolers and he will certainly be confused

They're also relatively big fish, and get relatively boisterous, rather than aggressive. They make good shoalers with the more aggressive focus fish or act well as a primary school themselves, but I'd be concerned about them with something as small as a guppy, particularly on their own. I have 7 of them and they do school relatively well.

I have kept them and a straight answer would be no as they will chase the guppy's and nip there fins and they will get too big. Also they may eat your guppy and platy fry
