Tank Mates

Guppies are community fish. They do well with most other fish that won’t pick on them, which makes them an easy fit for a mixed tank.

Good matches are peaceful fish of similar size, such as small tetras, rasboras, corydoras, platies and mollies. Skip fin-nippers and large or aggressive fish.

As with any fish, anything small enough to fit in a mouth is food, so keep size in mind when choosing tank mates.
