Different colored guppies

[Wnrwade]

After reading many posts on here have learned guppies can be a-holes and found out I need a few more guppies to keep the bullying down.
So my question is in your group of at least seven can the guppies be of different colors or will the other guppies single the odd colors out?

I have 2 females and one male in a tank with no bullying. If they chase one too much I tap on the glass and it distracts them...then leave the light out for a while. MIne are not the same colour at all. My other tank has 13 fry...seems only one is a male and they are fine too. Good luck. I believe for most fish though, a larger school cuts down on aggression...as well as plants and places to hide.

I had 5 male guppies in my 5 gallon tank when that was all I could keep in my dorm room (which I don't really recommend, but they did quite well) and they were all different colours. Never saw any aggression among them at all! I doubt colour will play much of a role. Make sure there's line-of-sight blocks in your tank and places for them to hide if need be. Good luck!

I've never seen any of my guppies give any indication that they even know what color they are, nevermind fight among colors. You should be fine.
