Can Fancy Guppy (Female trio) live with Yucatan Molly?
Caution — with care
Why
- Only a narrow pH overlap — keep both around 7.5–7.8.
- Yucatan Molly is large enough to threaten a small Fancy Guppy (Female trio) — usually fine once both are adult, but watch new additions.
Sweet spot: both do well at 72–82°F and pH 7.5–7.8 — aim there.
