Holy run together sentences Batman! J/K....... If you plan to breed guppies............... the more hiding places the better!
If I were you, make sure the petstore can allow refunds or returns. Quarantine any new fish before introducing them in your main tank. Adding more decors isn't a bad idea.
the more grass u add the more chance of ur fry surviving...
driftwood is not necessary...just add plants and ur good

Lots and Lots of floating plants. You sound like you are in the same part of PA that I am. Good luck with the guppies.
The more hiding places the better. Also make sure that you have a filter that won't suck up the fry (sponge filters work great). Guppies are pretty easy to keep and do most of the work themselves. Just keep the water clean and you should have fry in no time. Also, if you want to make sure that the desired males father the fry, you could keep the females in a separate tank if they appear pregnant.
