As many as you wish depending upon the size of your aquarium. Remember that 1" of fish requires 1 gal of water is the basic rule.
Yes that is enough. You usually want to keep a two to three female to one male ratio. The male will constantly try to breed with the females. If there was only one the female you get stressed out and die. So make sure to keep two to three females
What are guppies
Male guppies chase pregnant female guppies because they are trying to mate with them and fertilize their eggs. This behavior is natural for guppies and is a part of their reproductive process.
yes.
Male guppies are considerably smaller than females of the same species.
Male guppies have a pointier anal fin and a bigger tail than the female and the female is larger than the male.
Female guppies stay very plain to help with camouflage. Male guppies get color to attract females.
Guppies are livebearers. So they don't lay eggs. Male guppies WILL eat their own baby guppies. They will eat any baby guppy they see. It doesn't matter if it's their own or some other guppies'. Male and female guppies eat baby guppies.
"They will mate but if you keep them in there at the birth then the female will kill the male."
I had guppies and I couldn't stop them from breeding. Generally, the male guppies are much showier. They have brightly colored flowing tales. The females are often colorful as well, but not to the degree the males are. Most pet shops keep them separated and sell them labeled as male or female.
its sad but yes...
