is it okay to put guppies ai an aquarium with other livebearers such as mollies,platies and swordtails? or it will nip the fin and tail of the guppies? help..

Should be just fine. The only possible problem might be the swordtails, they are the more aggressive of the fish on that list and might get a nip in on a fin from time to time. I would say go ahead but watch the guppies tails and if you see nipping suspect the swordtails first.

Under normal circumstances it is fine .They will get along well in a community tank,but make sure you do not overcrowd. Put in twice as many females as males. Watch for aggression from male swordtails .If you plan to raise babies, you will have to take out all the adults.

they get along fine. I have all kinds of mollies and platies in with my 5 male guppies and they get along fine.

I have kept these species together and never had a problem. They are all pretty peaceful fish & seem to get along well together.

Sure it is. I have all of mine in the same tank.
Most of the fish will get along fine. I haven't had any nippers.

probably. I had about five at first with a few other fish, and sooner or later, they begin to populate and they kill everything else. Unless you plan on getting 2 tanks, don't do it.

Yes, as long as they are not tiny babies. The others may eat them.
