I used to have guppies in a fish tank but they have passed away.
I do have thousands of platies in a pond though

 

[CrazyCochin]

WOOOW!, I didn't know you could put plattys in a pond.

Don't the koi eat them?

 

[CrazyCochin]

we also have a big koi pond, we have only one platty remaining, and I have been breeding my Guppies. I have a 3.5 gal tank filled with fry.
some of them will be sold to our semi-local pet store in February.

The koi and goldfish leave them alone. My brother and dad are the fish experts but I'm pretty sure they dont eat other fish? Either way, they multiple so quick I'm not sure it would make a difference

I used to have my 20 and 29 gallon full of guppies (20 had only males, the 29 had only females) and I would breed them occasionally. Unfortunately I have bad luck with guppies, and they would randomly die off. So now I’m getting into other fish- danios, tetras, shrimp, etc. However, I still have my four remaining guppies. I might breed them again someday. For now, they’re all (three males and one female) in the 29 gallon because the danios were chasing them. For some reason the males haven’t noticed the singular female guppy, so far.
Here are some pictures of my guppies (past and present):

Oh, and I forgot to mention, my male guppies are named Jellybean, Paperclip, and Sparky. The female doesn’t have a name yet.
