I have just acquired four guppies, and I was hoping to get some more tropical fish, but I am a total newbie, am totally lost. Help Please!!
 
Platies, mollys and tetras. All easy, hardy fish that most people start with. There cheap so mistakes dont get expensive.
 
I got 5 guppies yesterday and I would also call myself a rookie, I also got 5 rummy nose tetras and they're brill together :) also, despite people being sceptical, my female betta is fine with them and in my LFS they even put male bettas in with various guppy tanks so I would definitely get a female betta to go with them :)
 
thanks so much, I will find out whether I can get any of them early next week. Also, how long does it take for fish to get accustomed to different tank mates?
 
@ Noahs ark6, I don't know how many litres it holds, but the dimensions are 60cm L, 30cm W, and 30cm H.
 
yes, my tank has been cycled, it's just I'm new with guppies, but I have owned tropical fish before

Thats a bad attitude. Just because they cost very little doesn't mean they think or feel pain differently to more expensive species.

I never suggested that. But being a total newbie as he stated the chances of making a mistake are higher. The fish suffer either way, if its a £50 fish or a 50p one, there still gonna die but im pretty sure i can speak for most people when i say id rather lose 50p than £50.

If you do everything correctly you shouldn't be expecting to loose fish :no:

I agree, I can understand that mistakes are a part of life but doing your homework and avoiding mistakes are a part of this hobby since it's another living creatures' life in your hands.
