you say small tank, but it's really not posible to say unless we know liters or gallons....Where I believe a small tank is comfy for 3 guppies, it sounds like you've no heater in there (fluctuating room temp) I'm not sure if this small tank can expand to "adding some shrimp" as well.... Give us more details.
