OK so just to make it clear i have 3 guppies currently and would like to get more fish.. how many more can i have and what fish are generally compatable? I have breeder tank seperate so if guppies breed i'll transfer babies into there and give them away.

that's a five gallon tank, with decorations and gravel the water and fish the water is not even 5 gallons. the guppies would be your limit, plus they'll breed and taker over and you'll quickly; have too many. with the other three fish your tank is WAY over stocked. it's a small aquarium and can't support that many fish. 10gallon if you'd like to keep all your fish and a 15 or 20 gallon if you'd like to get more. if you don't want a bigger tank you need to get rid of some fish.

the rule is you should not exceed one inch of fish per gallon. Zebra fish are definitely NOT a good option i had some and they ate my other fish. They don't mix with other fish all that well. Bottom feeders are really good to have because they keep you tank clean. I made the mistake of putting my bottom feeder in a clean tank. That was not smart i died. Make sure your tank has been in use for at least a week before adding it.

You have too many fish as it is. The rule is 3.79L of water per 25.4 mm of fish and this has to allow for full growth size, and we don't know what the other fish are and how big they will grow still. Plus, the guppies will breed like rabbits. You will have more fish than you know what to do with before long. If you want more fish, you will need to get a bigger tank and only put in as many fish as fits the rule.

usually about 1" of fish per gallon (not including fins) --and of the mature size of the fish...you should be fine..plus you'll have a lot more guppies soon.

Glass Catfish are really cool but are not easy to rear. I suggest you get a bigger tank if you want to keep them.

How about a ram cichlid? Those are my absolute favorite fish to keep. Beautiful fish with lots of personality.
You can find photos of mine on my forum.

I love neon tetras. They aren't aggressive with other fish and they look so beautiful swimming together in the tank.
