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.

do u have a heater?

u need to get test kits for

ph
ammonia
nitrite
nitrate

these are extremelyy important and without these u will not be able to determine problems and ur fish wud die if in toxic conditions
