The krib is similar and also comes in several colors and has a peaceful demeanor. Plecos and ottos short for Plecocostumus and Otocinclus are other ideal tankmates for guppies and tetras. These fish have a reputation for eating algae and help clean a tank, though they don't eliminate the need for maintenance. Many different species are available, with many different colorations. A smaller species of pleco is probably best suited for an aquarium with tetras and guppies.
Most smaller plecos and ottos are peaceful, but larger plecos can be aggressive and territorial. Corydoras catfish, cories for short, are another great match for tetras and guppies. Cory catfish come from the Amazon drainage, where most tetras come from. They are bottom-dwelling helping to balance a tank with tetras , but they also school and act more sociable than most tetras. There are dozens, if not hundreds of different species of Corydoras catfish available in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
All are peaceful and will not harm tetras or guppies. Guppies and tetras usually mind their tankmates and are rarely a problem. Maintaining water conditions might be a little tough job to do, but every living being on earth has equal rights for having clean and healthy water. Just like you easily get sick when you consume contaminated water, the same is the case with your Neon Tetra and Guppy as well.
You can easily buy the pieces of filtration equipment in the fish store near you or the department stores. You must ensure that your fish will always be comfortable in the aquarium to prevent your fish from stressing out.
If your fish stresses out, there are chances of further health complications, which might even lead to the untimely death of your fish. The tank must match a little with the natural habitat of both the Neon Tetra and Guppy back in Amazon river basins. So, make sure you put enough plantations and substrates inside the tank.
Those things will provide a homely environment for the fish. Even though both the fish are peaceful and will stay with one another, these fish prefer an aquarium with lots of places to hide.
Mainly the bottom of the tank should be dark for the fish to rest peacefully. The darker background will help you to see the shine of the beautiful patterns of both the Neon Tetra and Guppy fish when they swim. But remember not to make the tank extremely dark. It will not only scare the fish but will also disable you to see your fish, so the adequate lighting system is equally important as well.
All they require is adequate space to swim around freely, and without any disturbance from the other fish. Avoid aggressive and other larger fish species such as Aggressive Tetras , Barbs, Bettas, Red-tailed sharks, etc. Your smaller fish will be scared of the larger fish. Not only that, but smaller fish will also fall into the prey of the larger fish. Besides, larger fish will try to harass or even kill the smaller fish. So, you need to be extra careful while choosing the best tankmates for your Neon Tetra and Guppy as you need to prevent them from getting stressed and sick.
The main thing to consider while choosing the ideal tankmates is the natural behavior of the fish and their appearance. One important thing that you must remember is to keep the males or females in the ratio to balance the fish altogether.
Not only fish-aquatic fish but some other non-fish aquatic animals such as African Dwarf frogs and Ghost Shrimp also share similar characteristics of non-aggressiveness with both Neon Tetra and Guppy. So, you might as well house them together. Talking about providing the best suitable space, do you know how much does your fish require?
A gallon tank is the best suitable option for housing the Neon Tetra and Guppy. It is the ideal size for the fish keeper to pet the desired fish species. But do you know how many of the fish can you keep in 10 gallons of water? So, both the respective fish require 2 gallons and 1 gallon of water.
Just make sure you do not keep more than fish in 10 gallons of water. This rough calculation will make it easier to decide how many of these fish do you want to keep together. Now, you know about the adequate tank size and the number of fishes you need to pet. However, if you want to add more number of fishes to your aquarium, make sure you add a couple of gallons of water.
Remember that an inch of fish requires one-gallon of water. You can calculate by yourself how many of Neon Tetra and Guppy do you want to keep? Well, I will try to make it easier for you. If you set up a 10 gallons tank in your home, just add about of the fish.
But if you desire to set up a 20 gallons tank instead, add up to fish. One of the similarities between the Neon Tetra and Guppy is that both of the fish are Omnivores. Both Neon Tetra and Guppy have the food habit of eating both vegetations as animal matters just because these fish originally belonged from the Amazon basins.
Both Neon Tetra and Guppy are compatible beings as their diet are the same. So, it is easy for you to feed Neon Tetra and Guppy as they both are fussy eaters. It means these fish will eat whatever food you feed them.
The main diet of both of the fish is fish flakes, daphnia, brine shrimp, small insects, crustaceans, bloodworms, small worms, etc. You can also feed your fish with lettuce leaves, peas, cucumber, etc. Besides these, both of the fish love frozen food as well. You can keep adult guppies and tetras together because they do not attack, chase, or eat each other.
However, we cannot say the same for their offspring. Guppies and tetras will eat anything that fits their mouth, including young fry and fish eggs. The Neon Tetra is compatible with some of the following fish. Neon Tetra Fish are the most common victims of this disease, however, other fish such as Angelfish, Barbs, and Rasboras have also been known to contract the disease. The only fish species that does show resistance to the infection is Cardinal Tetras.
The most common reason for guppies dying in your aquarium is the poor water quality. With feeding your fish you actually pollute the water in your tank. The lack of oxygen in the water can also cause guppies to die.
Putting too cold or too warm water in your aquarium will cause death to your guppy fish. Fishes that can be affected Neon Tetra Fish are the most common victims of this disease, however, other fish such as Angelfish, Barbs, and Rasboras have also been known to contract the disease.
Guppies are good-natured, peaceful fish that will enjoy the company of a large variety of equally sized, peaceful freshwater fish.
