What can I add to my tank with 5 male guppies?

Question

I have a 10 gallon filtered and heated tank with 5 male guppies in it. What other fish can I add to this tank?? (They are all probably a little over an inch without the tail and are fullgrown) Any and ALL options of incouraged! Thanks

Answer 1

I would add something that is a bottom-swimmer (cory cat, ghost shrimp, etc). If you ad corys, you need to add three - they need to be in groups. Ghost shrimp are not group creatures like cories, but a couple of them would be fine. Personally I'd go for the shrimp. They have a very small bioload, and won't cause you water quality issues. They're very fun to watch too.

As for otos, they do stay small, but they're pretty picky about water conditions, and slight changes can kill them really easily - I prefer to keep them in bigger tanks since it's easier to maintain steady levels when more water is present. But you can try a pair of them if you want.

Good luck. :)

Answer 2

I wouldn't add anything but if you want you could get a couple zebra danios or cory catfish

Answer 3

mollies, platys

a betta

Answer 4

All I would suggest is a pair or trio of Otocinclus Catfish (if you have live plants and algae) OR 2-3 Corydoras Catfish.
