stowcenter93 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 We fell in love with some guppies at our LFS. All they had were males, and we decided to get 6 for our heavily planted 10 gallon. I have never kept guppies before, are there any issues with keeping just a group of males? They are with some pumpkin shrimp and amanos. The intent is a nice living room tank, not a profit tank for breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stowcenter93 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I'm sorry... I tried the mobile app for the first time and it duplicated my post a ridiculous amount of times... Edit: Alright got them hidden. Thanks to whoever was hiding them with me. I apologize for that Edited January 17, 2021 by stowcenter93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexa Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I love all male guppy tanks! You can always add more to disperse the aggression if that becomes a problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I agree--it's the only way to do it if you don't want tons of babies! I've had a male only tank for a little over a year now, and it's gone okay--they do chase each other around some and one kind started to pick on males of the other color pattern, so you could watch out for anyone getting bullied, but the number you have sounds like a good number to spread out any aggression but not overcrowd things IMO.

Had they had some femalea I may have done 2 and 1 male and started breeding but I'm glad they didnt. I dont want the living room tank to need more maintenance and care than your water changes and plant care. They are just perfect for passive enjoyment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmare Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I've done all male guppy tanks three times- twice it was perfect, and the third time they really just wanted to eat each other's tails. I think the odds are very good that it will work out, but just keep an eye out for issues! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
