Guppys In A Shrimp Tank?

[CrazyAirborne]

Im wondering if/how many guppys I could put in a 30l shrimp tank. Will the guppys give shrimp a hard time? My wife wants a pretty fish in this tank, since its on her desk, and we've never tried guppies. Im thinking maybe 2-3 females?

Females aren't so bright as males.

If you were to go for males, 2-3 would probs be the limit, but they might start bullying each other.

You could go for 5-6 male endlers, also seriously bright fish.

I suppose you could work out the same way as you do for any other tank.
1 inch - 1 gallon
1cm - 1 litre ratios
Females grow bigger, and arent as brightly coloured as males.

In regard to the guppy giving the shrimp a hard time in my own experience they should be fine my guppy never bother any of my shrimp.

I have 2 shrimps in my tank. Guppy hasn't touched them once.
