My "daughter" has a 20 gal w/ 3 guppies we rescued from my 50 gal. It's a cute tank but we would like to add alittle more. Any suggestions? It's somewhat near a window so I think we may get a snail, but other than that we're open to suggestions. In the 50 we have 2 black angels, 10 tiger barbs, one snail and 8 neon tetras so we kinda want to stay away from those. Well, maybe 2 angels. Help!!

-Freshwater shrimp do well with guppies. (Cherry red, Crystal red, Neon green, Yellow, or Blue shrimp. All that I mentioned are in the Cardinia or Neocardinia genera. )

-Some smaller loaches may work

-Platies

-Swordtails

-Some of the smaller rainbow fish might work

Bunches of other stuff that would probably work also, but my brain is a bit fried right now.

Kind King,
Could I put 2 baby angelfish in with the guppies? In my big tank every body gets along, I think it's because everybody has somebody and I bought the angels big and the barbs little. But the angels are sooooo graceful.

If the angels are small I'd say you could get away with it for a little bit. They would have to eventually go back to the big tank. Look into getting about 6 cherry barbs... they are really fun fish to watch and males get extremly good looking during mating. Then a nice little school of cories for the bottom would work very nice.

I would move the neons over - since when the angels are full grown there is a very good chance they will have the poor neons for lunch.

In a 20 gal you could do a school of threadfin rainbows, maybe some dwarf neon rainbows instead (I don't have my numbers in front of me right now so I can't remeber if a 20 would be big enough for them.
