These Livebearers are easy keepers for the beginning aquarist because they are hardy, peaceful, community safe fish. They are same species compatible. However, you do need to watch inter-species mixing. Do not mix them with “fin nippers”. The ideal living conditions for the Guppy is a ten gallon tank with a temperature range of 75 - 85º F. As an Omnivore, it requires both algae-based (flake) & meaty foods (freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, & brine shrimp).
