They would be fine but look at the length of all the fish (end on end) and if it's longer than the length of your tank - they will die and only the strong will survive.

Here's the order of events.

The Fighting fish will lose it's tail straight away,.
The Plecostomus and Tetra's will last almost forever.
The guppies will breed like rabbits and overcrowd your tank.

The fighting fish will not get along with the others.But all the other fish are fine together.

do not go with the fighting fish unless you have had it for atleast 1 year. for now go with 6 male guppies, atleast 2 angels, 3-4 neons. pleco or two, a black ghost fish..i do have a fighting fish in my tropical aquarium but that is because i hav had one since i was born. i know which one will go together and which one won't

I have a troppical tank too.. I have tetras. sword tails. guppies and a fighting fish!

They all get along fine, i havnt had problems with the current fighting fish that is in there now, hes not agressive towards them. He swims with the guppies. My other fighter that i had put in there before the one thats in there now (i took him out before adding the other) was a bit of a d*ckhead & chased every fish & had half the tank to himself.. If you put a fighting fish in there, it will be different for each fish. See how they get along, if there are problems take him out.

the male fighting fish
will eventually kill
the male guppies
so i advice you not to put them together.
sometimes angelfish do pick on guppies
and its not such a great sight to have them
together because you may have trouble
managing your tank. Angelfish eat neons,
in the wild neons serve as natural prey for
angelfish so please if you have mercy on your small neons.....don't......!
as for the other fishes that i have not mentioned they
will do fine
although............
if you have any questions about anything that relates to
fishes don't hesitate to ask me!

That's a lot of fish for just one tank. Even if you are only going to have them while their young I would still get a pretty big tank. I might add that the fighting fish will probably kill the guppies. So I wouldn't put them in the same tank. Anglefish are also semi- aggressive and probably won't be too kind to the neons. Here's a compatibility chart that will tell you what fish will go together.

Good luck!

not exactly the best combination, sorry

i'll tell you why
angelfish are sometimes aggresive, if they think thwey're bigger than other fish, they'll be like bullying them, but definitely not killing or eating them...

siamese fighting fish, male or female? females are okay, but males won't be compatible with guppy, he might attack male guppy thinking that they're better looking than him or perhaps another fighter...

please be careful with your pleco, if this fish got bigger than others, it will become a bully! yes, just like mine T_T...

the other species which i didn't mention, they're fine together!
good luck!
