Can guppies live in the same aquarium as a goldfish?
No. Guppies need a heater, whereas gold fish will overheat. Also, they will eat the guppies.
What is the effect of light to the reproduction of the guppies?
Without light guppies (and most other species of fish) can not see one another so it would be extremely difficult for them to locate one another let alone breed successfully. Therefor I would say that the effect of light would be to 'enable' reproduction of guppies.

Do guppies need heat lamps?
Hello, for guppies to be truly happy fish warm water is the go. Ive heard of some people having guppies in cold water but they arnt very successful and they normally die after a short while. Basically what u want to do with fish is do a bit of research on the wild habitat of that particular fish and try to match your tank setup close if not identical to that. Some fish are the exception tho depending on how they are bred, so check with ur aquarium first... Then u will have nothing but happy fish!
Can guppies breed in a bowl?
They could but it wouldn't be very suitable. Guppies, although small fish, produce millions of eggs, and being fresh water fish, they need to be layed in the river they inhabit. Only a handful of guppies will survive, so they need a rather big space to reproduce/

If the water temperature does not get too cold, and the water continues to be aerated, then the darkness won't matter. Guppies survive perfectly well in the dark.
What do you need to know about guppies?
Guppies are small, colorful fish that need to be fed twice to four times daily. They can only eat small amounts at a time. Guppies are tropical fish and need a heater set to about 27 - 25 degrees. Guppies give birth once a month, with a highest amount of fry at 70 depending on the the health and age/ size of the female. They are a freshwater and brackish water fish. Guppies need a ph level of 7 to 8. There needs to be a larger number of females than males, otherwise the males will fight over them. They will eat their own fry.
Do you need a licence to breed and sell guppies?
I think it depends on where you are in the world. Most local fish stores will take the guppies in exchange for store credit or money.
