I'm really glad you mentioned sparkling gouramis. I recently moved some endlers in with my sparkler and have been watching them closely for signs of aggression. I really love both of those fish, and hope they'll get along well long term!
Guppies are my all time favorite fish! I breed blue lace guppies, blue grass guppies and blue Moscow guppies. I have a community 40 gal long that I keep my non breeding male guppies in. I keep a pair of German blue rams, a honey gourami, a peacock gudgeon, rummy nose tetras, neon tetras and my very favorite mister panda garra. I can definitely recommend panda garras in guppy tanks. All of the fish in there get along beautifully with the guppies. The only issue I have is the male ram will sometimes chase off the honey gourami.
So glad this popped up again as I'm about to move my guppies to a 4 foot 185 ltr (48 us gallon ) tank as I have coreydoras already was trying to think of cute schooling fish and couldn't so ty you've helped my chioces might go with whiteclouds and black neons or possibly green neons as been told they should be OK in the parameters my ph slightly lower than your but kh/gh same as yours
Great topic and video! My largest tank - 20g has mutt endler guppies with a honey gourami and mystery snails. I would love to see more videos on what combos would work! Especially for fry control, as my honey gourami is sooo sweet and does nothing, yet for any new suggestions I wouldn’t want the snails harassed. Happy Monday! 😀
I breed guppies in 4 fish tanks & an 1100G outdoor pond, all with good success. The inhabitants with which they breed include.... neocardinia shrimp, spector crawfish, dwarf mexican crawfish, goldfish, shubunkin, koi, snails (pond, bladder, mystery, nerite, white wizard & ramshorn) highfin platies, boesmani rainbowfish, angelfish, harlequin raspbora, common & bristlenose plecos, 5 different kinds of corys. And my red & black neo shrimps are breeding like crazy in heavily infested water with guppies. Love your channel BTW, keep it up you 2 :)
I gotta say, you guys are great!! You make a really amazing team together!!!! And your advices are awesome!!! We always follow you and watch your videos .. Cheers from Perú
Great video, as always! I have a 20 gallon long tank with a LOT of guppies...and fry. It's stocked with three Siamese Algae Eaters, Mystery Snails, and Ramshorn Snails. Yes, that's a lot of livestock, but it is also heavily planted, including Pothos in a holder on the back and a Lucky Bamboo to the substrate. No issues at all with any parameters but will do a 20-30% water change when Nitrates get to 40 ppm, which is every 2 weeks or so. Tank is about 18 months old,so it is fairly well seasoned.
I had 1 female Blue Tail Albino guppy and plan to get a new pair when they go back in stock - I just put in 2 females and 1 male Blue Dragon guppies. I'm expecting some interesting new offspring from the two. They are in a a heavily planted 40g breeder with 8 X-ray tetras and some cherry shrimp. I can afford to lose some cherry shrimp. My great grandfather bred guppies back in the 60's and 70's.
A combo that has worked well for me in my 40 breeder planted mutt guppy tank is flame red swordtails, mystery snails, and a bristlenose pleco. Had a dwarf gourami for a few months but then found it dead, not sure if the swordtails got him or something else happened.
I have a male balloon molly and a female plakat in with my guppies ….and the guppies are the bosses. They are mostly great together even at feeding time……👍🏽
Hehe even pros have the occasional Oops :p I very much enjoyed your profile on guppies it helped me decide to do a colony of them in my 55g. This video seemed perfectly timed since I just started considering other options for when the colony has grown ty for all the great options!!
I have a heavily planted 55gal kept at 24°c with guppies, panda cories, Juli cories, bristlenose Plecos, cherry shrimp, a small group of golden mountain minnows and a rescued neon tetra. Such a colourful tank and a lot of breeding 😳 I'm looking to get honey gourami at some point but looking for a reliable UK seller before adding anything else. 🤞
@@thehairywoodsman5644 Yep I agree. I got mine from there for my 55 gallon. They had both the orange and yellow type. Availability might depend on your area though.
I find they go well with most peaceful fish that do not require soft, acidic water or are fin nippers. Mine is in with Cherry Barbs, Rosy Tetras, Ottos, Diamond Tetras and Siamese Algae eaters. Ph around 7.5 so not as high as yours. Would not mix them with Endlers though, they will cross breed.
can confirm about shrimp fry and guppy snax. i thought i'd get a touch of population control...... what i got was a feeding frenzy. they were obsessed. now i need a diff place to put them so the shrimp can go back to doing their thing. (guppies AND endlers actually)
well here's mine: 29G cube planted with internal filter 5 tuxedo koi guppies (2 males and 3 females) 5 zebra danios (3 reds and 2 classic) 5 albino buenos aires tetras 5 black neon tetras 4 black skirt tetras 3 kuhli loaches and a load of snails. it's been already 2 months and they're all happy... never a single problem
My guppies breed in 6.5 to 7.2, also... the water is fairly hard though... I just live on top of a watershed so local water is acidic. I have to crushed coral and wondershell everything for minerals, but I'm not trying to chase ph... they get what they get... and if they don't work I try a new fish.... multies are the only one I want to try that is going to challenge the water here, but I'm not even going to try it until my wife finishes nursing school My sparkling gourami eat the guppy fry also..... it's slowly letting me stock my 20 gallon how I want it... the gourami and kuhli loaches.. slowly the gourami are dwindling the guppies down... so next spring when I move my rice fish outside I can play around with one final tank mate while their 20 gallon long is unoccupied when they are in the pond outside
Halp! I have an overabundance running into the hundreds of guppy endler hybrids, and mystery snails. Need some predatory pressure, but not so much it decimates the pop.
I have only had guppies for a few months *if that* and already I have a dozen fry. Guppies are the kind of fish that you just need to add water too and they will just keep breeding
I try to keep my guppy tank patriotic colors. I bought 8 neon tetra and thought of rummy nose tetra. Can you do a video of good tank mates with patriotic colors?
Hey man I saw one of my buddies koolie loaches grow to be the size of a small snake and I think it ended up killing all this other animals. What do you think
How’d you know? It’s like when you google something and all suddenly Facebook is showing you ads for it. I’ve been really looking into plunging deeper into guppies as of recent 🤯
Hi I am an experienced fish keeper. Largely cichlids but i fancy doing heavily planted livebearer tank. Looking to do Mollies, swordtails and guppies but following your video i am nervous about the guppies being fin nipped. Its a 3 foot tank which currently houses my Mbuna which i plan to move on. What are your thoughts ease?
Quick question. Ive searched everywhere and I can’t seem to find an answer to this question anywhere, so if you could help me out I would be so grateful! Can you keep corys and loaches together? A lot of people say no because they’ll harass each other but from the sounds of some of your videos, it sounds like you can so I was just seeing if you could clear that up and if you kept both together (specifically kuhli and/or weather loaches) what size tank would you recommend for the minimum?? Thank you! I appreciate it and I love your videos!
Hi I have some questions:I currently have a 10 gallon with 3 guppies and 2 Otocinclus and I was wondering what other fish I can keep them with I wonder if I can keep them with endlers,corydoras and maybe a honey gourami? Will that work out?
I just purchased my first guppies last week. Odd that it took me this long as they are pretty fun little guys. My LFS said 5 males in a 5 gallon would be ok. Is this too small? Only other thing in there are 2 rabbit snails.
Guppies with dwarf frogs, platies, Mollies, swordtails, collie loaches, Cherry shrimp, auto cichlids, cory doras, apple snails, pond snails and a crayfish
Good choices except for 1. The clown pleco. Most waste of money fish I ever owned in my 30 years of fish keeping. I had one for 5-6 years and I may have seen him 10 times. Cool looking fish but what’s the point of owning a fish you never see? I don’t think he helped much with the algae either.
I got a bunch of 2 month old guppies from my females. Unfortunately I think all are male and my females are starting to get harassed. Time to see if the pet stores are looking to buy. 7: pepper Cory 1 albino bristlenose pleco 15-20 guppies in various life stages. 29 gallon heavy planted tank with 75 gallon hob filter.

My first ever fish were guppies. Went from 3 pairs to about 3000 😂 will always have a warm place in my heart (and my tanks! ) for guppies 😍

Halp! I have an overabundance running into the hundreds of guppy endler hybrids, and mystery snails. Need some predatory pressure, but not so much it decimates the pop.
Just bought a 75gallon to combine my tubs and tanks.
Dwarf Gouramis will often eat them.
Oddly enough most of these fish are available at Flip Aquatics. Also most of their Guppies are USA Breed.
I have only had guppies for a few months *if that* and already I have a dozen fry. Guppies are the kind of fish that you just need to add water too and they will just keep breeding
Yes the first comment❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cory and Panda Cats, Otocinclus, and Assassin Snails in a 20-gallon. Plan on moving then change out for 30-gallon. Stay away from Tiger Barbs.
I try to keep my guppy tank patriotic colors. I bought 8 neon tetra and thought of rummy nose tetra. Can you do a video of good tank mates with patriotic colors?
What tank mates would eat Guppy fry & not the adults please?
Maybe dwarf gourami, kribensis, keyhole cichlids, curviceps, apistogramma?
Happy Monday is back 🙂 happy Monday. I'm officially retired last Friday 🤣
Congrats!
@@PrimeTimeAquaticsthanks 😊👍 I can stay up late and sleep in late now :)
Could you give recommendations for the fish you would put in the tank with guppies for a ten gallon tank and how many of each fish?
Hey man I saw one of my buddies koolie loaches grow to be the size of a small snake and I think it ended up killing all this other animals. What do you think
How’d you know? It’s like when you google something and all suddenly Facebook is showing you ads for it. I’ve been really looking into plunging deeper into guppies as of recent 🤯
Have fun!
My ears perked up when you mentioned fry control. We have a platy population explosion. Hmmm. Maybe a gourami is the answer. Gourami or German Ram?
Yep!
Ember tetras and a guppy
How do you ensure the corydoras get enough to eat? My guppies really get after every last morsel
Flakes for guppies first. After they have their fill - small sinking pellets for the Cory cats!
Hey it’s fun to try and read lips lol
Hi I am an experienced fish keeper. Largely cichlids but i fancy doing heavily planted livebearer tank. Looking to do Mollies, swordtails and guppies but following your video i am nervous about the guppies being fin nipped. Its a 3 foot tank which currently houses my Mbuna which i plan to move on.

Platys and Mollys or platys and guppies might be the safest way to go?
Quick question. Ive searched everywhere and I can’t seem to find an answer to this question anywhere, so if you could help me out I would be so grateful! Can you keep corys and loaches together?

Kuhli loaches would probably be ok in a 20 gallon or more.

Otocinclus and I was wondering what other fish I can keep them with I wonder if I can keep them with endlers,corydoras and maybe a honey gourami? Will that work out?
Honey Gourami works. Endlers are fine. For the corys - maybe Pygmy?
@@PrimeTimeAquatics ah thank you
Could I keep peacock gudgeons with apistogramma? Assuming I provide multiple caves?
I had them together at one point but it was in a 125.
Currently have guppies with bloodfin tetras in a 32 gal flex. Only been a week so far though! Would a siamese algae eater eat guppy fry?
When full grown it’s possible.
2nd! :D
I just purchased my first guppies last week. Odd that it took me this long as they are pretty fun little guys. My LFS said 5 males in a 5 gallon would be ok. Is this too small? Only other thing in there are 2 rabbit snails.
They might do a little battel in a 5 gallon. I typically recommend at least a 10 gallon because they are so active.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics good to know. I have a ten gallon sitting around so I will move them in there! Thank you soooo much. Your content is awesome.
how many guppies can you put in a 10 gallon?
You start with two and end up with ~45
Are neon tetras live bearers ?
No. They lay eggs.
One tetra you should avoid keeping with guppys is the kerri tetra,it will torpedo your guppys.
Can I keep angelfish with guppies ?
The combo often works. Angels may eat guppy fry though.
Hi Jason! One of my neon tetra has an unilateral popeye for a while now. Would soaking it in aquarium salt bath help?
Possibly epson salts?
@@PrimeTimeAquatics thanks👌
Has anyone told you that you resemble Bill Burr? Even your voice is similar!
I’ve heard that once or twice. 😀
Cardinal tetra cost a little more than neon tetras why is this?
They aren't as hardy and so more are lost in shipping and transit - that would be my guess.
Is there any small cichlid that guppies can be buddies with?
Possible kribensis?
@@PrimeTimeAquatics thank you so much!
