If you wish to keep guppies you should read and follow the basic rules of successfull fishkeeping which are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Guppies are tropical so they will need a heater/thermostat and a thermometer. They should be kept at around 70F. If you follow the above guidelines your fish should do OK. If you miss out on any of the above I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and they will live shortened lifespans.
