"Species To Avoid”
Here are a few fish that are probably best to avoid keeping with your Guppies:
*Angel Fish
As much as I love Angelfish, they definitely don’t make the best tank mates for guppies (despite when some other guides might tell you). These two species will be fine together as long as the Angelfish are small – larger Angelfish will probably see Guppies as an easy snack.
If you’re set on keeping Angelfish, I would recommend some larger tank mates such as Cory Catfish, Bristenose Plecos, Swordtails, or Mollies.
Note: Many people have had success keeping Angelfish with Guppies (and sometimes it works out perfectly) – just be prepared, there is always a chance that the Guppies will “mysteriously” dissappear.
*Cichlids
This one is kind of self explanatory – cichlids tend to be aggressive, quick, and have quite the appetite for small fish. For most cichlids, Guppies will look a lot more like food than anything resembling a “tank mate”.
In addition, cichlids tend to be pretty territorial. They stake out a spot in the tank and claim it as their own. Guppies, with their lively and energetic nature, love to swim laps around the tank – which means they will usually end up swimming into cichlid territory and, well…you know.
*Endler’s Livebearers
Guppies and Endler’s Livebearers get along great, so why aren’t they considered good tank mates? Well…they actually get along a little too great.
Guppies and Endlers are known to crossbreed, which is something that you always want to avoid in the fish-keeping hobby. Crossbreeding usually results in weak offspring that end up with health problems. In addition, true Endlers are very rare in the wild – if you have a pure line of wild Endlers, it would be a shame to mess that up by letting them crossbreed.
Anything else large enough to eat them
In general, Guppies tend to make great tank mates of a lot
