    It is not recommended to mix with guppies for the following reasons: Different habits: Goldfish are cold-water fish and prefer to grow in low water temperatures.

    Guppies are tropical fish that prefer to grow in warm environments. Different body sizes: Goldfish are larger, and although keepers can choose to keep them with fish that are similar in size to guppies, they can also grow.

    Different diets: goldfish prefer vegetarian food, while guppies prefer live bait.

    Small goldfish and guppies cannot be polycultured for the following reasons:

    1. Different habits: Goldfish are cold-water fish, which can grow normally in a lower water temperature, and they can accept a wide range of temperatures, and can live in a water temperature between 0-38. Guppies are tropical fish, and although they can also tolerate a wide range of temperatures, they can only grow in water temperatures between 18-32 at most.

    2. Different body size: The size of goldfish is large, although the keeper can temporarily choose some smaller goldfish and guppies to raise together, but after a period of development, the size of goldfish will become larger. Guppies are bullied when they are larger than guppies.

    3. Different eating habits: Goldfish like vegetarian food, especially some algae, aquatic plants, vegetables, fruits and other foods in the water. Guppies like some live bait, like common daphnia, water lice, and earthworms, which are more suitable for guppies.

    1. Sufficient oxygen: If the keeper keeps guppies and other fish together, it is best to install an oxygen pump to ensure that they live more comfortably.

    2. Clean water quality: Breeders should also regularly change the water for guppies and install filters. This reduces the frequency of water changes, which can reduce the discomfort of the guppies.

    Guppies can be polycultured. Although guppies can be polycultured, but also depending on the situation, if the various varieties of guppies are mixed together, it is easy to bully the small. Therefore, it is better to choose a polyculture of similar breeds.

    If you want to polyculture with other fish, you should also polyculture with smaller fish, so that guppies will not be bullied. Specifically, guppies can be polycultured with small fish such as zebrafish and traffic light fish.

    Guppies can be polycultured with other small fish. Guppies are relatively small in size and very gentle in character, so they can be polycultured with smaller fish, but they are not suitable for polyculture with larger fish, because they are easy to be bullied or devoured. I believe that many people who have raised guppies know that guppies are often swallowed by other slightly larger fish, even if they are different in size due to nutrition or other factors, they will occasionally be eaten.

    Therefore, when raising guppies, be sure to keep them separate from the larger fish.

    There are still many fish suitable for polyculture with guppies, such as moonfish, white cloud gold wire, triangular lantern, red lotus lantern and so on. These smaller fish have similar living habits to guppies, and do not have high requirements for water quality and water temperature, so they are very suitable for polyculture with guppies. There are also fish such as silver screen light fish, traffic light fish, penguin fish, etc., which can also be mixed with guppies, and their living habits are similar to those of guppies.

    However, it is necessary to pay attention to the adjustment of daily feeding and water changes, although the habits are similar, but there are still some differences in feeding, and more attention should be paid to it.

    Goldfish is a relatively mild temperament ectothermic fish, if you want to polyculture, you can choose the same mild temperament, and adapt to the water temperature is also relatively close to the lampfish, fortune fish, angelfish, guppies and ratfish and so on. However, because the difficulty of polyculture will be much more difficult than that of individual breeding, and if it is not properly matched, it will not only not increase the aesthetics of the fish tank, but also make the fish tank look uncoordinated. Therefore, it is not recommended to polyculture goldfish with other fish for a long time.

    Goldfish are ectothermic fish, with a relatively mild temperament and a strong ability to adapt to water temperature, 18-26 are suitable for the growth of goldfish. Therefore, goldfish can be short-term polyculture with some fish with strong adaptability and mild temperament, such as lampfish, fortune fish, angelfish, guppies, and ratfish.

    Although it is possible to polyculture, it is because the habits of goldfish and these fish are different after all. Moreover, most of the goldfish are sluggish and have poor foraging ability, while tropical fish are more flexible and have strong foraging ability, and the food is easily unevenly distributed during polyculture, resulting in malnutrition of goldfish. At the same time, the habits of goldfish and tropical fish are still different, and polyculture greatly increases the difficulty of feeding, and if you are not careful, you are prone to dead fish.

    So it's best not to mix them together for a long time.

    Goldfish can be polycultured with guppies, but long-term polyculture is not recommended, and they can be polycultured together for a short time. In the summer, goldfish and guppies are briefly polycultured, and there is no need to worry about the water temperature, and the guppies can also clean up the food residue that the goldfish have eaten, making the water cleaner. However, the difference between the two fish is a bit large, and long-term polyculture may lead to the situation of eating fish.

    Moreover, the requirements for water quality are still different between the two, so they are not suitable for long-term polyculture.

    Goldfish are not recommended to be polycultured with guppies, because goldfish are medium-sized fish and can reach a body length of 20-30 cm after adulthood. Guppies are small fish with a body length of only 3-5 cm when they reach adulthood, and the size of the two is too different.

    Moreover, goldfish are cold-water fish, and guppies are tropical fish, and their habits are also different, so they are not suitable for keeping together.

    Juvenile goldfish can still be kept together with guppies, but when the goldfish grow up, they need to be separated.

    Guppies are small tropical fish with a gentle personality and strong adaptability to the environment, which is very suitable for breeding with other small fish. Fish that can be farmed with guppies include zebrafish, Mary fish, traffic light fish, moonshine fish, mouse fish, kissing fish, Mickey fish, angelfish, etc. These are small fish, which are the same size as guppies, and have a gentle personality, and their environmental requirements are similar to those of guppies, so they are very suitable for raising with guppies.

Loach ponds can also be polycultured, but the key issue is to pay attention to the fact that the feeding habits of polyculture fish are not the same as those of loaches. For example, in general, rural areas prefer to raise carp and crucian carp, but these two kinds of fish cannot be mixed with loaches, because they are both bottom fish like loaches, and they are omnivorous, and both sides will not grow well together. >>>More
