i love fancy guppies and am in awe of looking at them at the LFS and on in other poeples tank photos!! they are beautiful!! my question is...would they be ok in a thirty gallon with 5 phantom tetras, 4 neon tetras, and 9 platy's? i'm concerned that it would be too many fish in the one tank?? what do you think??

Well let's see 5 phantom tetras would be about 10" of full grown fish, 4 neon tetras would add another 6", then 4 highfin platys are 6" more, and 5 more platys of various types 10". That is 32" of full grown fish already and we haven't even gotten around to the snail and the catfish. I would have to say your tank is already full. I am sorry to say that there is no room for any fancy guppies. I do know that they are very beautiful but I am afraid you may have to admire them in others tanks, but wait.....it is a perfect excuse to get another tank . We all do develop MTS (Multiple Tank Syndrome) here sooner or later.
