I have a 10gallon with some black gravel, a peice of drift wood thats like 1/8 the size of the tank. and a lil plant plugging a hole in the side. I have 2 male guppies and 6 females. am i overstocked? would it be safe to add anouther male and 3 more females?
 
Agh i dont want that.. i was just wondering cuz my mom picked up the guppies and they are all black/blue and dont look that good so i was gona go grab some yellow or orange or white or w/e but idk.. I wanted to add a lil color to my tank so i was thinking why not more guppies. I do 2 water changes a week wend/sunday and i drain about 3gallons each time and its a 10gallon tank. so whats that like 30% or so.
 
and what would be a good fish that gets along with guppies and stays small and wont eat my baby guppies?

Aros, Oscars, Datnoids, Gars, or Platies
 
:D those are in my 120gallon you freak! :screwy: . the guppies are treats for my bigger fish i just want the lil craps to have babies first. and it makes my 10gallon tank look nice.. i got rid of the plants and put those in a 20gallon

If you have platies in your 125, then they won't last long either. Platies are livebearers but they grow a little big bigger than guppies.
 
O dident see those platys lmao.
but esriously should i do more guppies or something else?
 
You could add cory cats. I love how they school.
