To look nice and be a delightful little pet, but from a more scientific perspective a guppy provides ammonia from both respiration and waste which the nitrosomas bacteria pair off with an oxygen molecule thus creating a nitrite which nitrobacter bacteria then convert into nitrate which aquatic plants then eat. Also guppies produce carbon dioxide which the plants use for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis the plants give off oxygen which the guppy can then use. It is a very well balanced cycle giving off very little or ideally no waste.
