Good Fish To Go With Guppies?

What are some good fish to go with guppies? I have a 10 gallon Aquarium. I haven't started it yet, but I think I will this week or later. I would like something that is about 3 to 5 inches but is peaceful, so it won't eat my guppies. Almost anything will do!

Another thing, I know that a male and a female guppy will breed, and I don't care about the babies, so would I just let the other fish eat them? (I know it's cruel but I don't know what else to do!)

Thanks!

Tetras, corys, hatchets, neons, white clouds. Most likely if kept with these types of fishes the babies wont get eaten. If not, just bring them to your LFS. I'm sure they'll take them from you.

Could I just take the babies in a bag or portable tank?

Um..... Maybe a few Schwartz Cories/Corydoras Catfish would do well?

Hey RTF, I said it in your other thread, but a Pearl Gourami would probably fit the bill.

RTF, keep the general stocking guideline of 1" of adult size fish per gallon of water in mind as you try to put your stocking list together.

I think cories would be the best

If you leave the guppy fry with the parents they will eat them

Thanks! I guess I'll just get 2 males so I won't have to deal with this problem.
