Hi there - could you let me know the minimum sized Guppy tank please? I don't plan to breed just want a couple of males to keep next to my computer.
 
30 by 25 by 25cm is a good size for three males and no other fish. It would be better to have a larger one, of course.
 
And don't forget the bigger the tank the easier it is to maintain & the healthier the fish will be. :nod:
 
Hi, the smallest is 15 litres/4 gallons. But that's a little cruel, ideally you should have no smaller than 40 litres/10 gallons.
Good luck, only get males
 
I have just added 6 to a 25 litre but I am not ading anymore and it is over-filtered with water changes at least twice a week, hope that helps
 
If you only want a few males, no females for breeding, you could indeed get by with a 5 gallon tank. They are almost as long as a 10 gallon for swimming room and could easily house 5 or 6 male guppies in comfort if you have a properly cycled filter for them.
