I'm so confused. This is the second time I've read this. One site that Platies and guppies should be one, or the other but not both in a community tank.
Which is it? Are they compatible?
Which is it? Are they compatible?
http://www.****************/catalog_pages/livebearer_guppies/guppies.htm#top2Compatibility Fancy Guppies are best kept in a group with at least three male Fancy Guppies and about twice as many female Fancy Guppies. Good tank mates for Fancy Guppies are Cory Catfish, Small Tetras such as Neon Tetras, White Clouds, Honey Gourami, Glass Fish, Ghost Shrimp, and African Dwarf Frogs.
Quite often large Mollies will attack Guppies. Even though both Mollies and Guppies are often sold as "Community Fish", usually large Mollies and Guppies are not compatible tank mates. Swordtails and Platies are also not good tank mates for Guppies. Guppies do better with smaller tank mates like the ones listed above.
