I had an Oscar for 3 years and decided to get something new. I sold him to my pet store and bought 9 guppies and 3 spotted cories. Im not aiming to breed the guppies but when it happens im just going to letthe fry stay in the tank and let nature take its cource. With that said what are some good tank mates?

9 Guppies
3 Spotted Cories
? What Else?

Thanks,
Justin

More of the same type of cory...they're schooling fish and very social...I'd up the group to 10 or so as a start.

What type of tank are you looking for, slow and peaceful, or active and fun ?

Ok, Ill buy at least 3 more cories if not more. Im looking for an active, constantly moving, community tank.

Thanks,
Justin

Corys corys corys....get much more than 6 you wont be dissapointed.

Stay away from tetras they're rather slow and boaring....look towards barbs, and such.
I'd do
12+ corys possibly even two schools for 24 corys
12+ gold barbs
and 12+ WCMM's

with some driftwood, sand or small gravel as the substrate and some java fern ....wait that's my tank isnt' it .

Rainbows

I've always wanted to get a large tank and fill it with guppies and let them breed...that would be awesome IMO.

I thought barbs were aggresive, am I wrong?

It depends on the species... Tiger barbs are semi-aggressive/fin nippers, but most other species are quite peaceful.

I agree with rainbows

I'd fill out the school of cories, and add a group of loaches. Once comfortable in the tank they're quite active.

Rainbowfish are a very good choice; danios are also active fish. I was also thinking about hatchetfish which would give you some fish in the top portion of your tank.

Get more Corydoras & make them a school.

Pearl Gourami & Angels are very beautiful fish & good Guppy tankmates.

I disagree with tetras being slow and boring. My tetras (pristellas, glowlights, buenos aires), are all constantly moving, great schoolers, exciting to watch.
I would highly reccomend glowlight tetras in a large school they are truly impressive.
Danios are also constantly on the move, so are hatchet fish, mollies, platys, etc.
Pearl gouramis are beautiful and active, and I would also reccomend rainbowfish of any type- they dont stay still for more than 5 minutes.
A flying fox is also very active, so are loaches, as are SAE's. I could name a million fish!
