Guppies will breed with any other Guppy. They will also eat their fry, if they fry don't have a hiding place. a 1:3 male to female ratio will result in a large amount of fry.

i am going to try and get some pics to put in here so if any one know what kind of guppies i have they might be able to tell me

it really doesn't matter what kind they are. The important thing is as nfored stated.
1) 1 male - 3 female.
2) lots of hiding.

well i guess it would matter if were only trying to breed one specific kind but it doesn't sound like you are

in about 2 month's you're gonna have a whole gang of guppies so it really doesn't matter

lol thank for all the help and i am going to try and take some pics so i can share them

yeah for guppies... prettymuch all you have to do is add water...

lots of hiding places.. thick "bushy" plants and gravel should do the trick..

at most fish stores they have breeding grass which is 2-3 inches high and is very dense. my dad has a 20g and this works fine for him. GL
