I'd say 5ish males would be good. You need at least 5 to cut down on aggression, but you don't want to overstock the tank. I'd suggest you get another Oto or two too, since they are a group fish.

However, you need to move the goldfish out first. First off, they are coldwater fish, not tropical. Second, they need a bigger tank (at least a 20g). And third, they produce a lot of waste, which will quickly screw up your water stats, and probably kill the male Guppies as they are so fragile these days. Either way, the Goldfish needs a bigger, seperate tank.

i returned the goldfish sence i didnt have anywhere to put him an didnt want him to die. okay so 5 male guppys ...maybe 6 if i see one i xtra i really like, an i was gonna get like 2 more otos an 5 more ghost shrimp that sound any good. once i get the tank set up ill post a new pic for all to enjoy! lol
