Two Fancy Guppies?

GumboJones · 09-10-2006, 07:17 PM

Is it ok to have two male Fancy Gupies, and no females? I was told by an employee of a petstore that its ok to keep more then one male guppie together so long as you only have males..

If I wanted to keep Fancy Guppies, how many could I keep, and would I Need a female?

An all bachelor tank is fine, but if you have females, have at least 2 for every male.

Does that apply to other livebearers, such as swordtails and platys?

Yes generally speaking that is true.
