About how many guppys can live a 5 gallon fish tank?
This depends on the strength of the filtration system on the tank. On a 'normal' five gallon tank (filter turnover about 5x/hour) three or four would be a good number. On a 'five gallon tank on steroids' (I have one of these - filter turnover 12x/hour) I kept seven with no problems. If you're going to keep more than three or four, regardless of your filtration, you need to be religious about tank maintenance - 50% water change, every week. Keeping more than 6 or 7 in the tank is probably not going to work. (For filter turnover, 5x/hour means the filter pumps 5 times the tank's volume each hour, so that would be a 25gph filter in a 5 gal tank.)
What type of filteration system do guppies need in a 5 gallon aquarium?
A simple air driven corner filter should do the job in a tiny 5 gallon tank provided the tank contains no more than 3 guppies. The first basic rule is :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. Your tank is nominally a 5 gallon tank which means when it is only filled to within an inch of the top and has gravel on the bottom, the most it will be holding will be around 3.5 to 4 gallons of water.

How often to clean a 5 gallon tank?
