Fish in a bowl are taken care of much the same way as fish in an aquarium. The water temperature needs to be regulated, the environment needs to be kept clean, the fish need to get their food. It is far more work than an aquarium with a heater and a filter, but it is manageable.

The same as you would care for any other Guppy. Temperature 75F pH7 hardness medium. The follow the basic rules. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week. Keep the above rules and your fish stand a chance. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that you will have constant health problems with your fish.

Make sure you have a heater set to 80 degrees. and you should find microworms or vinegar eels at a pet store. OR just crush up any old fish food flakes. And make sure they have plenty of hiding spots from the adults if they are in with them. Or the adults might eat them.

Put them in another tank because the mom and the dad will eat the babies or other fish will eat them too. To feed them crush the flakes in to powder like so the baby guppies can eat and they can also eat frozen baby brine shrimp and clean the tank twice a week.
