Compatibility

[zackcrack00]

I have a 29 gallon which will have a trio of guppies, an African Butterfly Fish, and a breeding pair of Kribensis (thanks Jesse!). I want to add a pair of sailfin mollies from my LFS, are they compatible with my tank? I want the Kribensis to breed, still. I am just worried about bullying between the Mollies and Guppies!

Won't the African Butterfly eat the guppies (and mollies...and presumably small Kribensis)?

Never kept one but looks like the kind of thing that would eat anything that it can.

My butterfly hates to eat anything but pellets... Which is, actually highly unusual! He hates crickets, bloodworms, blackworms, and any frozen or live foods. Go figure. Haha LOL! So he is definitely fine. I feed him the Aquadine pellets. He absolutely loves them! So yes he is okay.

Mollies and guppies are capable of interbreeding. I used to keep them together in a tank and every single fry I got from the tank was hybridized. My turtle enjoyed it immensely.

In my experience mollies also have a tendency to pick on other fish. I've had mollies take out Angels before.

Thanks. I will stick with some small Tetras!
