Male guppies will usually fight over females if there aren't enough, resulting in ragged tails and in rare occasions, death. It is better to keep at least the number of females the same as the males, if not more females.

No, unless a) the female fish got pregnant before the male died, or b) you buy a new male guppy and put him in with the female.

Should you only keep one pregnant guppy in a birthing tank or can you have more because I have three pregnant guppies so should I put two of them in the community tank and one in the birthing tank?
I had a problem like this, a couple of fish pregnant at the same time. I would either keep them all the female guppies in the birthing tank or keep them in the community tank and when one of the female guppies give birth put the baby in the birthing tank. I did the second option and it was quite good, just don't overcrowd the birthing tank. :)
What kind of fish should you put in a new tank?
I suggest you should start with 1 male guppy and atleast 3 female guppies so they can reproduse. The less females you put the less amount of time they will live!
How do you know if your guppy is pregnate?

What kind of fish doesn't a male betta fish eat?
You can try to put Guppy fish in with your Betta fish. That would be one of the only fish that i would put in with my Betta fish. I say that because i have a Betta male and he is OKAY with guppies. the first guppy i put in his died to to getting picked on by him but the others did not, so just give him another chance if you decide to get guppies. Hope i helped!
Ok I just got a male betta and 3 guppies. The betta attacked one of guppies. The guy I got him from said they would be ok together. Can someone tell me why the betta attacked the guppy?

Do guppy lay egg?
No, guppies are livebearers which means they have live babies (called guppy fry). The females and males will eat them once they are born, but some will live by hiding or if you put them in a breeding trap.
How do you breed a guppy?
Put a female and a male in a tank together with a few plants for the babies to hide in as the parents will eat them and wella young fish DIFFERENT PERSON'S ADD ON :) i would not put them in with the parents. Make sure to put the fry in a separate floating container. Then take the female out and put her back into the separate community waters after she has finished giving birth. Then you can just take the guppies and put them in a smaller (1 gallon half filled) tank. Now you don't have to worry about the guppy fry being eaten at all.
