I would suggest that six or eight would be plenty. If you do not have good filtration, reduce this number to five. For six or eight in a ten gal, you should be doing about 30% water changes weekly.

As surprising as this may sound, you can only keep 2 in a 10 gallon.

Tanks that are smaller than 10 gallon should not be used for fish at all regardless of how store market them as they are just too small for proper care (even bettas!). Ten gallon tanks are too small to keep more than a few of most fish, and for anyone wanting to get into the hobby, you should always buy at least a 20 gallon kit.

How many guppys can you have in a ten gallon tank?

Well guppys are tiny fish so i have 2 say, wait, well that depens how many other fish u have in the tank here are some examples: If u have a little pet shark, five little goldfish, 4 neon tetras, and 2 clownfish, you should have 5 guppies. If u don't have a pet shark u could have 10 guppies. (new person) Well, technically it is a ten gallon tank. If it was, say, a ten centimeter tank in height and maybe a few inches in width, then maybe ten guppies, more or less, like the person above said. But a ten gallon tank is like pet-store material, so I'd say a couple hundred guppies in a ten gallon tank.
