can u give me further information or tips

Well a heavily planted tank is great, keep water temp around 80f. Have 1 male to 3 females. Guppies like higher salt levels so add some aquarium salt. These guys are super easy to breed, hope this helps!

Just add water ;)
 
Lots of females, a few males and good hiding places for the fry if you plan to leave them. With the parents. Pretty soon you will have more guppies than you know what to do with

i use to breed them a long time ago and i havent had a tank in almost 10 years... my husband and i picked up like we never stopped and i started breeding guppys again to help feed the other fishys... gupys are very easy to breed all you have to really do is have a male and female and take care of the tank as normal but here is the catch.... they eat there babys... i have a 20g set up with the full size guppys on one side and the babys on the other when i see that mom is going to pop soon (large belly, black spot if looked at closely can see babys eyes) i move her to a breeding/birthing tank on the babys side.... she has the babys they fall through the holes to safty and when she is done (20+ min) i will mover her back over the the other side... what are you wanting to breed them for maybe i can help you with a good set up for you???
 
Ive just begun breeding and my guppies do very well at a temp of 82. When I first started my guppies were dying and the only thing I changes was the temp from 78 to 82. my first batch of babies died as well at 78.
Hmmmmmm

odd... my tank is sitting about 78-80 and i have had it as low as 72 before and never had any problems with them... does the water test ok? do you have some kinda cleaner fish in there? what size is the tank? how many males and females do you have?
 
Try 68 degrees and a little carbonate hardness. That's like romantic music to a guppy.
