Guinea pigs get lonely when they are left alone so like to be in a pair or a 3. Anymore and there is a high probability of them fighting. Females are generally more social but Males are just as sweet.

They can be brought in both genders but with males the recommended is 2 as if you have more there is a more likely chance they could fight.

Yes, two or more guinea pigs are always better to have then having just one. They are social (herd) animals, so they need company.
