Guppies & Danios

[Lilt Man]

Hi all

Just a quick question concerning guppies and danios.

I have 4 Zebra Danios, 5 white cloud minnows, 1 Dwarf gourami, 3 platies, seven cardinal tetras & 3 rummy nose tetras.
I would like to add 5 male guppies to the tank. The tank is a Rio 240 (Jewel) - 43 gals.

Will the guppies be compatable with whats in the tank (i.e fin nipping) already, is i plan to keep small fish only.

Thank you for your input

I don't think there will be any problem.

No problem at all. I have danios and guppies, the danios do take the odd nip at my tetras every now and then but never seem to cause any damage. If you do find the danios get nippy, just add a couple more. It's always best to keep them in a shoal.

it doesnt look like a problem but you never know all fish act differently even if their the same species.
