so i saw these little guys at my lfs and had to have them there so cute, i have them in my 10 gallon with my 3 male guppies (males killed off all my females) and countless red ram snails. i wanna know if there gonna try to kill my guppys? and if they need floating plants? (i for java fern in the bottom of the tank)
 
Do you have a pic? I'm guessing they would be either "honey dwarf" (Trichogaster (Colisa) chuna) or maybe "sparkling" (Trichopsis pumila).

I believe both of these are very peaceful, so might be more of the abuse-ee than the abuse-er.
 
there the sparkling, cuz i was gonna get honey gouramis but than i noticed these little guys (they also didn't have anyfemale honeys)
 
I've never kept sparklings, but they look very timid to me. I doubt they would hurt the guppies -- I'd actually worry that your guppies might hurt them...
 
Sparklers are indeed timid fish, in my experience. They also prefer more cover than being in the open so floating plants are pretty much a must IMO.

If anyone would be the aggressor it would be the guppies for sure. They also do not have a very long life span.
 
Man, get some pics :) I haven't seen these guys for awhile. I was considering importing them but was unsure of how well I could house 150 even temporarily, lol

Really? A LFS near my home town has some in stock pretty consistently.
