HI!
I just set up a 30 gal hex, heavily planted. I mostly want to have schools of guppies.

Can I also safely put in some swordtails, mollys, and platies?

My concerns:
-The swords may be a bit bigger/faster than the guppies and nip
-The fry population would be reduced a lot?

Thanks!
Brian

I've kept swordtails with guppies with no problems.

I've got guppies in with wild swords right now and have absolutely no problems. The wild swords (Alvarzi) are less inclined to eat their own fry than most guppies.
