They should not be kept with the young of other fish. Also, males may tend to get aggressive towards each other when breeding and fin nipping may occur. Guppies should not be kept with aggressive fin nippers, because they make easy targets. It has also been reported that some Guppies may attack similarly colored fish that are placed in their tank. Guppies should be kept in medium sized tanks with lots of vegetation and moderate rock decoration. They will tend to stay towards the top of an aquarium.

Guppies are a good community fish meaning that they get along well with other fish such as tetras, mollies, platys, and bettas. They should not be with aggressive fish. Because of their beautiful tails, they are an easy target for picking on.

properly, if this question is trustworthy, then you definately are woefully overstocked. I essentially advise which you do no longer upload to any extent further fish. additionally, your Comets and Black Tetra/Guppies are such categories of fish that they might do lots better in tanks different than for one yet another. the suitable temperature and water chemistry for the two of those could make the different uncomfortable sufficient to rigidity them out unnecessarily or perhaps kill them. on the bright side, considerable Congratulations to you on your being waiting to maintain all of them alive so a techniques! The be conscious "miracle" includes suggestions. All those cleanings/water modifications ought to've relatively worked i'm particular. I advise 2 severely greater aquariums. One for each of those 2 communities of fish. (relatively for the comets ~ who ought to each and each develop into 12 inches long) With the outstanding, properly-deliberate setups you mustn't ought to bathe your tanks better than as quickly as a week. (relatively of 21 circumstances) much less artwork on you, much less rigidity on your fish. further: additionally, hear to Liz C.'s sturdy Tetra suggestion. They do way better in communities of a minimum of 5 or 6. further lower back: properly, issues seem getting slightly better. you're headed interior the outstanding course. you have decrease your form of waste manufacturers via 60%. besides the undeniable fact that, you're nonetheless no longer appreciating the modifications between those 2 varieties of fish. As a puppy proprietor you should examine each and each of your animals particularly to maintain all of them as wholesome as feasible. placing apart those Tropical, slightly Acidic, gentle heat-Water-Loving Black Tetra from the Cooler-Water, Alkaline-PH-producing, speedy-becoming Comets could be the subsequent suitable ingredient so you might do. very few issues can particularly stay thankfully for long in a three gallon bowl. (micro organism would not count quantity).

If the guppies are just male or just female you can put platties which are cheap but if your guppies are both male and female there will be no need to add any other because they will start to breed and use up swimming space.

*Tetras(neons and other small varieties)
*Barbs(tigers and smaller types, never tinfoils! But careful, barbs are tail nippers)
*Danios
*other live bearers, mollies, platies, swordtails...(careful, livebearers spread disease much faster than egg layers)
*upside down catfish
*Corydoras(most species only get about 2" in length)
*Pleco(most get too large and are too dirty for a 15gal but they can be in there while young)

Thats about it. There are some others that you can place in the tank, but I cant think of them. Try not to have more than 17 inches of fish. (I always go two inches over because it never looks like too much to me....) Mostly its 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon of water. But play it by eye, try not to crowd.

Hard to beat a few smaller tetras for that. Small, cheap and generally fairly hardy. Neons, penguins, glowlights, black phantoms all fall in this group as well and many, many more.
