danilada Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have two large silver dollars, they never chase other fish and I have bred bristle noses without them eating the fry, would it be possible/advisable to keep guppies with them? Obviously the tank would have sufficient hiding space for the guppies and plenty of plants for potential young and guppies are quite quick, has anyone successfully kept these two fish together before? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I dare say that when your silver dollars are fully grown they would make a quick meal out of the guppys. You never know though, sometimes fish surprise you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxnz Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Silver dollar are plant eater, plus they will fly like a rocket once you disturb them in your tank..small silver dollar maybe :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think we can only say "Try it and see" as it often depends on the individual fishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 yea try it and see.. i've seen heaps of guppies in with a school of uaru and they're fine because the uaru can't catch them. don't last long if one dies tho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I put two mono in a tank with 30 guppies and the next day there was six guppies left :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
