Hi
I recently lost all my neon tetras in a long power outage and I would like to re-stock the tank with guppies. How many can I put in there. The tank has live plants in it and is well maintained.

I wouldn't put any more than 3 in there.

A trio of Endler's guppies could be real fun in that size tank, IMO.

I went and bought some Endler's guppies today and I really like them. Kind of wish I had seen those first instead of the neons. They were only selling males though. They are so beautiful. I also bought an albino cory to replace the one that also died in the power outage and my lonely looking bronze cory seemed pleased about that and spent the rest of the day following his new friend around.
