    A real scavenger doesn't eat live fish, including guppies, of course. But I strongly disagree that they eat excrement! They have their mouths downward, so they are more likely to eat food that falls on the ground.

    Scavengers do not eat guppies, but they do eat the eggs of other fish, which are not classified as exotic species.

    Will eat, especially the big scavengers, remember, otherwise your fish will disappear for no reason, I raised more than a hundred traffic lights, a big scavenger, I feed every day, but a miracle appeared in less than a month, there are still a few traffic lights to be eaten, I turned around and threw the scavengers, and the fish I bought never disappeared again. Don't listen to the fish sellers who say it's okay, the fish are all right, who will buy their fish? People who say it's okay are really misguided!!

    Whitewing. Do not eat live fish or gnaw on aquatic plants. Eat some food scraps. Dead fish carcasses are also eaten. After feeding, when the fish is fed, they come out to eat the fish food. The main function is to help you wipe the inner wall of the fish tank clean.

    Scavengers are supposed not to bite fish, so they can raise them with peace of mind, but the disadvantage is that they have a lot of excrement that is easy to contaminate the water, and there are scavengers who don't eat fish poop, and they are careless when they eat them, and they often eat leftover feed, algae on the fish tank, and some dead fish, and there are scavengers who are nocturnal, and most of them work at night!

    It is possible to polyculture. This is because scavengers clean up food debris when they are young, while guppies eat small fish feed, and there is no contradiction between them. But in order for them not to chase and attack, it is best not to be too small.

    Here's an introduction to these two types of fish:

    Whitewing. The whole body is grayish-black, with black and white patterns, the body surface is rough with shield scales, the head is flattened, the dorsal fin is high, the tail is flattened, the snout is round and blunt, the mouth is lower, there are abundant suction cups, 1 pair of whiskers, and the thorax and abdomen spines can support the body and crawl on land. The body of the fish is semicylindrical, with wide sides and a shallow forked tail fin.

    Suboral position. The dorsal thread is broad, the abdomen is flattened, and the left and right pelvic fins are joined to form a round fan-shaped suction cup. From the ventral surface, it looks like a small pipa, so it is also called a lupa.

    The fish has a dark brown body with black spots. Body length can reach 250 mm. will turn white.

    Guppies. Also known as peacock medaka, rainbow medaka, called "anchovy" in some parts of northeast China, is a kind of tropical fish of the medaka suborder, medaka family, medaka genus, and the difficulty of raising is low. It is native to Venezuela, Barbados, northern Brazil and Guyana in South America, and is introduced as an ornamental fish to Singapore, China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, and many European countries (such as Russia, Germany, etc.).

    Guppies are loved by people for their colorful and beautiful body shapes. Guppies are distributed in the lower reaches of rivers in some tropical areas, and their wild habitats are diverse, mainly inhabiting freshwater basins and lakes and marshes. Guppies are very reproductive, can tolerate polluted waters, and are known as "million fish".

    Guppies have a mild temperament and can be polycultured with mild and medium-sized tropical fish, usually lively and active, with a lifespan of about 1 2 years. Purebred guppies are divided into four basic strains - grass tail, serpentine, mosaic, and dress, which is what we call "strain fish". According to the phenotype of the fish, it is divided into many phenotypes - Japanese blue, galaxy, Medusa, metallic, platinum, Santa Maria, etc.

    Guppies are small, omnivorous species with an adult body length of 3 to 5 cm, and can be found almost everywhere in the world due to their strong adaptability to the environment. Its rich colors, colorful shapes and vigorous fecundity make it popular with tropical freshwater fish breeders.

    The scavenger can be polycultured with guppies, and it will not actively attack guppies.

    Scavengers are omnivorous fish that feed on algae, benthic animals and waste from the water, and can also devour fish eggs and fry in large quantities. It is a nocturnal fish that can be polycultured with healthy species of fish. Scavengers like to eat feed, especially heavy small pellet feed, which is easy to suction cups, and for small pellet feed floating on the water surface, it will be sucked by the belly upside down against the water surface.

    Scavengers feed mainly on fish excrement, seaweed, bacteria, and feed residues.

    The scavenger is also an expert at cleaning the walls of the fish tank, and the places it has rubbed are particularly clean.

    Scavengers and guppies can be polycultured together, the main reason is that there is no conflict of interest between them, and there will be no ** problem.

    Polyculture is not recommended if your tank is too small.

    In fact, scavengers generally do not attack other fish, but it is difficult to say if they are very hungry. So when you feed other fish, you have to observe whether the scavenger eats or not, and don't listen to those people who say that the scavenger doesn't need to be fed, only eats feces. It's time to feed it, it's going to have to be fed.

    Of course, if your fish is sick, the scavenger will indeed bite it.

    Harmful. Scavenger fish are suitable as scavengers because of their habit of sucking algae and benthic animals. However, polyculture with mild or small fish should not be avoided.

    If it reproduces in large numbers, it will devour the eggs of other fish, leading to the extinction of other fish. There are no natural predators in China yet, so be cautious. It cannot be released, and in some parts of the south, the fish has been overrun, resulting in the extinction of the native fish of the entire river!
