Rainbow sharks are generally aggressive with other fish and are not a good match with peaceful fish. Tetras and guppies are generally fine to live together. When picking out fish, you want to keep a community that all have the same aggression levels. The store clerk will be able to help you with that information. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
