sparrowmayhem Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I am getting some guppys as feeder fish for my axolotls am i able to put them in the same tank as my comets i will be getting 4 guppys and feeding to my two axolotls one each once a month as a change in diet i just wondering if they can be kept in the same tank or do i need to set up a new tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Generally speaking it is suggested you do not keep them togther. Comets are coldwater and guppies (despoite often being sold as "cold water guppies") are tropical. Depending on their size the comets will also view the guppies as food so they may not last long enough to feed to the axolotls. Not sure an axolotl can catch a guppy :-?

bedazzled Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I am not sure if it is the done thing but I have some guppies outside in a pond with some comets for summer and they are very happy. Their colours look amazing since going outside and they are breeding like... well... like guppies lol. They only thing would be that perhaps the comets, if they are of a decent size, they may attempt to eat your feeder guppies before they get to the axies poor little guppies though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axolotl-danio Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 If the tank was kept about 18-20c maybe even 16 it could work but a full grown goldie would eat a guppy. I really don't see the point in feeding you axolotls guppies as they don't really offer any nutritional value. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 it could work but a full grown goldie would eat a guppy. That g so badly looked like a 'p' When i skimmed past it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
