I am considering moving my 4 lemon tetras to my 10 gallon tank so that I can convert my 20 gallon tank to a guppy tank. I think it would be lovely to see a large number of colorful guppies in the one tank.

I have never kept guppies so the whole fry thing is a bit overwhelming to me at this point (plus I don't have a lot of extra time to devote to sorting out the fishies). Is it possible to keep an all male tank? Will they be happy without their female compainions?

Thanks for your help.

males will still thrive in an all male tank, u will still see all their displays tords eachother, a bit confusing to the male they r courting lol but, they will get on just fine, im starting up on all male now too

yes, it should be fine, as long as tehre no females, there shouldn't be any breeding rights.

You shouldn't have any problems with an all male Guppy tank.
