Does this seem like a bad mix?

trckrunrmike · 08-27-2006, 10:28 AM

In my 20 gallon tank I have 7 neons, 1 rummy nose, 3 guppy fry, 2 female guppies, and 1 male guppy. I honestly wanted it to be a schooling type tank like Amano's but when I started losing rummynoses I bought some neons. And today my sister wanted guppies because of their babies (girls

) so I put them in my 20g too. I would have put them in a 5 gallon but she didnt want that. And I don't want in the near future 20 guppy fries flying around everywhere while my neons school...So this is why people have more than 1 tank eh?

I made this mistake once...or twice... but never again. Of course you will have 20+ guppies flying around. That's just how they do. So yes, this is why you need a whole ROOM of fish tanks lol

So if your sister wants guppys help her set up another tank and get ready for the spawn...Then you can do what you want. 10g tanks arn't that costly to set up.
