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!

It is normal to heat the water in an aquarium with a combined heater/thermostat not a heat lamp. A thermometer is also usefull to keep an eye on the temperature. Guppies should be kept between 70F and 75F.

Guppies need a temperature of around 70F to 75F. If you live in the tropics or have temperature control where you live they will be OK if you keep the temperature high enough. If not you will need a heater/thermostat.

Yes guppies do need light to live. Its all about the light inside of the food. Also, the guppies feed off of the energy in their food. It's pretty much like a food web.

What volt do you need for 2 heat lamps?

That would depend upon the voltage of the lamps. Heat lamps in a bath are usually 110 volts AC. You also need to know the wattage of the lamps. That will determine the capacity (think number of lamps) that the circuit could support. These ratings can be found on the lamp itself. The fixture supporting the lamp must also be of the correct capacity.
