I have kept goldfish and guppies together in the same tank. There are a few things to consider, though. First is that goldfish thrive at a cooler temperature than tropical fish, and the guppies you're probably referring to are the “fancy” guppies sold at most retail pet stores. read more

Guppies and goldfish are totally incompatible. Guppies are tropical fish that need warmer water, different food, different tank set up, etc. Also, if your goldfish is growing as it should, it may be able to eat smaller guppies.

Goldfish foul up a tank extra instantly with their excrement and may tolerate the poorer water situations (which they themselves contributed to) than the guppies, and mostly goldfish might want to easily be kept in a unmarried species tank. read more

Guppies are tropical fish, doing best in temperatures in the mid-70's. They can survive for a while in cooler temperatures, but will usually get sick and die. Goldfish are cold-water fish, preferring temperatures from 45-65. They can live in warmer water, but that can cause several problems, including disease and death. read more
