looks great how the guppies getting along with the fighter?

Give them a couple of days to settle in, that way you should be able to see if they will get along or not. Thats what I've found in the past - you can get fish and they'll be okay with each other whilst they are settling in, but once they've settled in they don't get on (i've had this with angles, red tailed black sharks, ruby barbs even some rainbow fish and more...)

But good luck, hope they get on because they're all great looking fish :wink:

At first there was a bit of tension between the two species, then over night the pecking order seems to have settled, they seem happy enough to stick together now.

Evoss:
Hopefully they'll be alright then, i'm guessing they where just establishing whether they were the same speciecs of not and by the sound of it they know they're different which is a good thing :wink:

And i think you've got cardinial tetras there not neon tetras (cardinials are better looking anyway - they have a full red belly instead of only half a red belly like a neon) :smiley:

Ashbreed:
how do your plecos get along, i was thinking of getting another similar sized pleco a while back when i had more room in my tank but didn't bother because some can become territorial with there own kind if similar sized, and I didn't want to upset mine.

what plecos did you say you have again?

I have a common plec, i got him when he was only 6cm and about 3-4 years later is about 30cm+  :wink:
