I don't think they could. You will get better answers posting in the livebearer section.

Depends on what your room temperature is. Like if you live in Thailand, it's going to be warmer then in Alaska. Usually it's not a good idea though, because of temperature swings which can stress them out.

Ya. I'd use a heater, as I live in Minnesota. It'll be nice and sunny out one minute and sooner than you know it, it'll rain, thunder and lighting. I'm not kidding.

I know people who keep their Endlers at 70F which is cool for a tropical tank and as long as they were acclimatised slowly to this temp they should be ok and so should guppies. However fry will grow much more quickly as a more normal temp of 76-78 ish.
I would use a heater and set it to 74-76F ( but check with a thermometer that the heater is actually giving the same temp as its set at), and see how they do.

I completely cover my tanks with a piece doubled bubble wrap at night. I have 8 tanks and when I go in in the morning only one or two heaters are showing that they are on. If I forget to bubble wrap then most of them are on. So it really does save electicity to wrap the tanks up at night if you dont already.
