How many guppies to a 10 gallon aquarium?

Answer 1

Guppies need a 40 gallon tank. Maybe 3 at the most if you only put in plants and maybe one rock.

answer 2 by LipRingz:they don't need a 40 gallon tank i had 5 guppy's in a 2.5 tank in a 10 gallon you can have prob 8-9 guppy's

Answer 2

You could have twelve guppies in there, provided that it's filtered, heated and at least 25% water changes are done each week. Make sure that you cycle the tank before you add guppies, as they are very sensitive fish. Add the guppies slowly - one or two a week and the tank should not be fully stocked for four months or so (give it the odd week off.) Make sure your guppies are all male, all female, or at least 2 or 3 females to every 1 male. If the 10 gallon is your only tank I recommend all male as if you buy females they will breed and you could end up overrun with fry. Even if you buy all females they will already be pregnant.

Answer 3

Depending on their size, about 4-5. They shouldn't be over 2 inches and all should need similar living conditions. If they are thick bodied fish, I wouldn't put more then 3, max 4. Hope this helped

Answer 4

supposedly an inch of fish equals one gallon. So if you have a 5 gallon tank, you should have 5 guppies. But of course you can overstock a little bit...
