I just had a guppy have babies. It's not too hard to breed them, she came already pregnant!!! you should probably heat the water a bit. For breeding and for the fry I keep it around 77F. And live bearers like alittle salt in their water. They sell aquarium salt really cheap at the petstore, just follow the directions on the box, but pay attention, it's not the same as marine salt. Use real or fake plants but plant the tank densly, and the fry will be able to hide. Other than that, the guppies do all the work!!!I've heard it said they would breed in a mud puddle! they used to call them the millions fish!

Imderanged is absolutely right. Breeding guppies is suprisingly easy. Add some of the plants for the fry to hide in or the parents will eat them. Other than that you should be fine. I had guppies in my turtle tank and we had probably about a hundred fry in a few months. Fortunately, the turtle and the fish ate most of them though.
