We did this and learned that if the guppy is bigger then the other fish, it will eat them. Also, goldfish can only be kept with other goldfish because they will spread anamonia to them. Goldfish also get very big so you need to have either a pond or at least a 10 gallon tank!

No it is not
gold fish have a high amonia level and it would kill the guppy
also a guppy is a tropical fish and requires much different surroundings compared to a goldfish
so the two can not coinside in the same tank
