angels,cory,tetras,gourami,mollies,platys, and rainbowfish sound good, from ur list.

Also, I keep guppies with Sailfin mollies.
Sailfin mollies are not in my experience nor
opinion aggressive at all, except the males
may try to breed with female guppies, unsucessfully
usually due to the sailfins large size.

1. goldfish
NO, for the simple fact an adult goldfish gets
too large for most tanks, and will definetly be
able to consume adult guppies when mature, and probably
will with delight.

2. tiger barbs
NO,way too nippy and quick.

3. endlers
Yes

4. female bettas
No, can be quite nippy and bossy

5. cory cats
Definetly.

6. angel fish
Yes, I have done this for a very long time now,
Angels will eat young guppys though, but in
My experience, angels are not fin nippers,
nor aggressive. And Guppies do excellently in
soft , warm, acidic water with No salt.

7. hatchet fish
Yes definetly.

8. tetras
Most Yes. Serpas, Bleeding Hearts,
Penguins, Black/White Widows no.
Neons/Glowlights/Rummynose definetly.

9. rainbow fish
Yes, will eat guppy fry like crazy.

10. gorami
Yes, will also eat guppy fry like crazy.

11. mollies
Yup. Definetly.

12. platies
Yup. Definetly.

I'd like to make a note on the female betta thing, since you're getting both responses. As always with bettas, it depends on the aggression level. I currently keep three betta girls in with fancy male guppies. They don't bother the guppies.

I also keep a MALE betta in with female guppies... no issues there, either. I've kept a male betta in with male guppies for a month or two... there was just a bit too much aggression happening, though I think it would have worked with a slightly less aggressive male.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

hey, i tried it too, mixing guppies with my red cap oranda in my aquarium. they both doing great, and healthy as before, so i agree mixing them.

1 gold fish are cold water..
2 tiger barbs are fin nippers
3 endlers.. possible dont wanna cross breed though
4 female bettas should be ok
5 Cory cats definetly no problem there
6 Angelfish.. might get a little nippy with guppies(wouldnt recommend it)
7 hatchet fish... should be ok they are good jumpers so be care full
8 tetras.. depends on the type of tetra
9 rainbowfish should techically be ok
10 gourami... again depends on the type
11 mollies..as long as it isnt sailfin.. they are aggresive
12 platies .. yea they are a good choice..

in conclusion,female bettas, cories, hatchetfish, tetras, rainbowfish, mollies and platies should be good...

katieb, i know that, i'm just saying [font color="#000080"]IT MIGHT POSSIBLE,[/font] because i did try it. like i said, if u read my statement above, [font color="#C00000"]I DID NOT RECOMEND IT![/font]

and what about if she has a pond, and her climate is good as mine? [font color="#000080"] again, IT MIGHT POSSIBLE![/font]

"For goldfish, i know it's cold water fish, but i think it's fine because they're not both agressive, and i did personally mixed them with my gupps in my pond. so, for me, yes!

...but i believe it'll work only for the pond, i do not recomend it."

But this isnt for you

What are the chances she has a pond that can sustain both guppies and goldfish? Fancies can get as big as a grapefruit and commons get as big as 2 feet. Also, theres a good chance her climate isnt the same as yours. She might live somewhere where winter is long and very, very cold. Not a good habitat for guppies.

To the original poster

How big is the tank and what do you have in it?

If you sing to me in French.

...except that angels prefer soft water...

Are these good tankmates for guppies???

1. goldfish

2. tiger barbs

3. endlers

4. female bettas

5. cory cats

6. angel fish

7. hatchet fish

8. tetras

9. rainbow fish

10. gorami

11. mollies

12. platies

I agree with the above replies.

Please don't mix Endler's & guppies since they can interbreed and Endler's are believed to be extinct in the wild.

If you want fry to survive be careful with angels, gouramis, bettas, larger tetras.

For goldfish, i know it's cold water fish, but i think it's fine because they're not both agressive, and i did personally mixed them with my gupps in my pond. so, for me, yes!

...but i believe it'll work only for the pond, i do not recomend it.

Goldfish are not good tank mates for guppies; they grow way too big and require a very different environment.
