how long is it safe to keep a male guppie with the females?

Question

will the male drive the females crazy?

can i put the male in my other tank with goldfish, tetras, silver dollars and kissing guranas

Answer 1

Its safe to keep your male in there all the time, but he will annoy the females less if you have a ratio of 3 females for every male. As for your other aquarium, don't put him in there, there's too big a chance he will get eaten, probably by your kissing gouramis. Thats quite an interesting mix you have in that tank, I hope it works out for you.

Answer 2

As long as he's horny. Which means nearly forever. They live quite comfortably with each other, unlike bettas. Only you'd have to remove the gravid females into a maternity tank when they're due to pop.

DON'T put your guppies with goldfish and tetras. They'll shred your male up, then goodbye boy toy to the female guppies.

Answer 3

It's fine to put the male in with the female but remind you that they will have babies....the goldfish most likey will eat the guppy. The tetras "Neon tetras",... can go with the guppy's.. I have had them with my guppys and they did fine but, I don't know about the other fish though. Sorry, haven't had those before.

Answer 4

Chances are if the guppy is a fancy with a good sized tail he wouldn't last long with the fish you mentioned. Even a common guppy will probably eventually bite the dust with Silver Dollars and Gouramis sooner or later.

Answer 5

okay i should know alll about guppies because i have a boy and a girl guppie, its okay to keep them for a while but when the female has babies take the female out and seperate her from the babies
so then she wont hurt them, and after they get bigger put her back in so it doesnt matter abouot the boy and gurl

HOPE I HELPED :]

Answer 6

it is safe to keep them together all the time they shouldn't bother each other
fish are usually good about controlling their emotions
