Appropriate Home. Guppies will live best in an Aquarium with an External Power Filter with a BIO-Wheel, 1/4 inch or less of gravel, and an Aquarium Heater adjusted to between 78 and 82 degrees F.
Like most livebearers Guppies will do better with 1 Tablespoon of Aquarium Salt per 5 gallons of water in their aquarium.
Recommended Diet. Floating flake food and freeze dried blood worms. Both of these foods are available in most stores that sell pet fish.
Guppies will do better, if fed a little bit of frozen brine shrimp and a few live Black Worms.
Compatibility. Fancy Guppies are best kept in a group with at least three male Fancy Guppies and about twice as many female Fancy Guppies.
Good tank mates for Fancy Guppies are Cory Catfish, Small Tetras such as Neon Tetras, White Clouds, Honey Gourami, Glass Fish, Ghost Shrimp, and African Dwarf Frogs.
Quite often large Mollies will attack Guppies. Even though both Mollies and Guppies are often sold as "Community Fish", usually large Mollies and Guppies are not compatible tank mates.
Swordtails and Platies are also not good tank mates for Guppies. Guppies do better with smaller tank mates like the ones listed above.
