Can i put a female guppy with a neon tetra fish?

Question

so today i got my first fish wo0t! she is a female guppy, got the fantail thing goin on and stuff but anyways i want to get a neon tetra [looove the color] aswell, but dont know if they'd do fine together, for sure. the tank is kinda small, like a gallon or something maybe more...

Answer 1

no 1 gallon could only hold 1 single guppy

and neon tetras need to school with at least 6 of there ow kind

Answer 2

maybe if you had a bigger tank

Answer 3

You definatly need to get a bigger tank. But they should be fine together. I have a 20 gallon with 5 neon tetras and 5 guppies. For now I would just go with the guppy you have now.

Answer 4

Not in that size tank.

In a 10gal or bigger, yes you can keep them together.

Answer 5

nope i wouldnt put any fish in that size tank

Answer 6

you need a bigger tank. i have a 20 gallon and have 3 neon tetras and i had a male and female guppy but the male died the day the female gave birth =[ they're community fish and get along together well. be careful if your guppy has babies get a baby keeper with a net, i have some clear plastic one but somehow the babies keep escaping! good luck with your fish

Answer 7

Neon tetras require heat and good filtration.  If you just have a fish bowl, the tetra won't survive.
