Well i've had them about a week and all they do is swim around together, no problems so far.

maybe some black widow tetras, they are quite smart, silver hatchet fish also look pretty cool, and they are a bit different aswell there are loads of options............

Guppies can be kept in bachelor groups where if they do bully each other it will be spread out between the group and not concentrated on just one. I used to have 4 brothers who got on really well. As long as no females are added to the group to start off fighting unless you do add 2-3 females per male. But even then some may still occur

I want some small yet nifty fish or something large-ish that's placid so it won't just start eating everything. Still nothing springs to mind

I would have to say your current stocklisting has incompatibilities in it.
Columbian shark cats require brackish water, and appreciate full strength to marine towards the end of their lives (where they grow very large).
A sailfin pleco can grow to 2 feet in length. However, they won't tolerate salt.

Hate to put a spanner in the works but for the long term health of these fish it's worth considering where you want to go with the tank.

If by Aluminium cats you mean columbian sharks then go with the above great info from Fella, he is also spot on on the Sailfin plec...

Have you had the "aluminium cats" ID'd? It is difficult to say for sure whether they are compatible unless you can show us a picture or link to them, try www.planetcatfish.com to find an ID.

The only ID i can find for an "aluminium catfish" is Chrysichthys longipinnis, which is a Bagridae catfish that could easily get to 2ft long! If this is the one then you seriously need to think about either a BIG tank, or rehoming it to someone who can house it suitably. They will most certainly eat your guppies!
