Again, like people have said, you don't need to pick up a tank to clean it

Your still going to need a much larger tank plus other tanks and equipment in case you do get a pregnant female as you will need to separate the fry from the adults and split males and females unless you want an extremely overstocked tank which is not healthy for the fish.

Honestly people are try to help you take care of your fish properly so they live long and healthy lives as people have said tanks dont need lifting to be cleaned ( I've had tanks and fish ponds ) and the bigger the tanks for guppies the better.

my betta fish Puff i discover he's 2 years and a half, and he's losing his eyesign and bettas 2 years its old, so i might get another betta and put the tank next to his tank, he's eally friendly, he's friend with his mirroir, well, when he could see it, so im sure a young one full of energie and activity would cheer him up, he depresse when im at my grand-parents, and i already know a lot about bettas. so it depend on what my mom says, ill talk her the matter about Puff and ill se what she think, tomorrow or before going to bed we read the Bible and we always talk about thigns and then we go to bed, so if i get a chance ill talk about it. will post update, i hope Puff will live still a few years, i love him so much :cry:

    (you actually see quite a bit of endler guppies here, though i was just using the picture as a basis.)

    once again, you do not need to pick up a tank to clean it.
    guppies are cute, yes.
    but they will die in a tank too small for them.
    you'll be wasting your money and your time, as well as two guppies lives, especially if one is pregnant.
    you ask for advice, you will get advice.
    you've gotten the same advice from multiple people and refuse to listen to any of them and claim they're arguing with you.
    you need a proper sized tank, or many people would suggest not getting any guppies at all.

Female guppies have ability to store sperm, so it might not be just one pregnancy...
https://en.aqua-fish.net/articles/guppy ... care-forum
Another important aspect of raising Guppies is their ability to store sperm for months. It isn’t unusual to see a female fish giving birth even 6-8 months after she lives separately from males.

http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/po ... eticulata/
Excess viable sperm can be preserved in the female’s oviduct for a long time.
This means that the females are still able to produce young for 6 months or more if no males are present.
Can we pretend that the airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...

If you can get puff in to larger tank with a heater and filter and get him in to a much better environment he could very well live a few more years. Bettas dont care much for others and you could use the space for a second tank to get puff a larger tank.
