Title: Stupid Guppy Question
Post by: LizStreithorst on November 07, 2015, 07:42:27 PM
Will three males do OK together in a 10 gallon?  I've never seen aggression among my guppies but I've never kept only 3 males together.  I'm asking because the lady I want to give them to wants 3 males if it will work.

They should do fine, but I'd hope she'd have something else in there too....???

It's planted but I don't know how densely.  She may have a few more guppies in there.  She's all into guppies.  I'll pick her out 3 nice males.  She wants the non albino's...the ones most plentiful.  Figures that my tastes are out of out of step with the norm.

In this case I hope not.  Someone who can keep just one 10 gallon tank can't have baby fish coming out of her ears.  I just hope she likes them.

On a different note, I'm thinking off dumping all the 3 strains I have and letting nature take it's course.  These guppies have not captured my imagination like I hoped they would.  What I really need is a Jack Dempsey.

I used to keep male Endlers with gold veil Angels in a 36 bow. They looked beautiful together. If ya start them all out young they live together without a problem.

After giving my guppies away I kept one pretty male guppy. I put him in a tank with other fish species...forgot what they were. I was really surprised that a guppy could be aggressive.  ???
