Just wondering what the lowest temp a guppy can live in? I heard they can survive in 60 or lower. My one tank stays about 65 to 68 without a heater.
 
The original form probably would but I don't advise lowering beyond 76 degrees for high maintenance fancy guppies.
 
a friend of mine has loads of guppies in ponds outside year round.

Temps at night are around 2Cº. I don't know about the water temps. Know it is not heated and that fish thrive in those ponds.
 
Agreed. Fancy guppies are weak. Go with wild guppies for sure if you can. I've had great luck with deworming and quarantining "feeder" guppies. It is a shot in the dark but you are guaranteed to have some dang hardy genetics in there.
