Tank Companions For Guppies

[Larry_the_lobster]

I recently became hooked on keeping guppies and livebearers in general. I have gotten rid of my betta and blue lobster which were attacking and injurying/killing my guppies. I currently have 4 leopard catfish, 5 columbian tetra two neons and a pair of swords (male and female) And im now on the look out for some tank mates for my fish. Im ideally looking for other live bearers and someone suggested killifish to me can anyone shed some light onto this for me, thanks

What size tank are we talking about?..

The common golden wonder killi will eat guppies... they can open their mouths quite large..

Tank size is a big deal though.

I believe that was two neons... you might want to get more of those before adding more fish.

Hi!

Another 1 or 2 female swordtails would add livebearers to your tank and make sure that poor girl doesn't get too stressed from all the "attention" on her alone. You can get swordtails in a number of colours and fin varieties too.

As asked already, what is your tank size? That's a big factor in determining what fish to get in what numbers.

Though, taking a blind stab in regards to tank size, I would agree with adding more female Swords. I'd suggest you either get rid of your Neons or add more, since they are a schooling fish. And are your Leopard Catfish Cories, or some other kind of Catfish?

Tank size is 101x41x50 and it takes 180 litres there used to be a shoal of ten neons in there but for some reason they died off. so I stopped buying them
