Compatibility
Guppy × Chili Rasbora Compatibility
Compatibility calculated based on predation risk, behaviour profile, and water-parameter overlap.
Guppy and Chili Rasbora are not recommended together in most community setups, but size difference should be monitored and water-parameter overlap should be checked carefully.

Envrionmental Factors
Temperature overlap
Guppy: 20.0–28.0 °C
Chili Rasbora: 24.0–28.0 °C
Shared window: 24.0–28.0°C.
pH overlap
Guppy: 7.0–8.0
Chili Rasbora: 4.0–7.0
Shared window: 7.0–7.0.
Hardness overlap
Guppy: Medium → Very hard
Chili Rasbora: Very soft → Soft
No shared hardness band is present.
Flow match
Guppy: Medium
Chili Rasbora: Low
Flow preferences do not conflict directly (no low-vs-high clash).
Behavioural Factors
Predation risk (size ratio)
Adult size ratio: 2.00x
Size gap is between 2.0x and 3.0x, so monitor for dominance and mouth-fit risk.
Behaviour risk
- - Both species are generally peaceful; behaviour conflict risk is low.
