    Dear fellow brothers,

    I would like to find out from you guys if guppies can live together in the same tank as tetra cardinals? If can, will the tetras disturb the offspring of guppies? I'm thinking of getting some guppies to add into my tank of 10 cardinal tetras.

    if you feed the cardinals well, i think nothing of that sort will happen. though i have witnessed my cardinals' and neons' taking nips at a dead shrimp.

    I would not trust any fry with tetras around, even guppy fry which are quite large at birth. Cardinals will attempt to eat anything that fits in their mouths, and that includes fish fry. As the saying goes, if it fits, it's dinner.
