Tank mate check
Can Goldfish and Guppy live together?
Verdict: No
No. Goldfish and Guppy fail at least one check below, so keep them in separate tanks.
Why
The same temperament, water and known-conflict checks the MyAquaLog compatibility tool runs.
- Both species are peaceful. Goldfish is rated peaceful, Guppy peaceful.
- Temperature overlap 72°F is too narrow.
- pH overlap 6.8-7.5.
- Goldfish may not be compatible with Guppy.
- Goldfish sets the floor at 20 gallons on its own. Size up from there for both groups.
- Keep Guppy in a group of 3 or more.
