Yes, guppies are tropical fish, therefore they need heaters as do tetras. You can't get just one or two tetras as the are schooling fish and need to be in groups of at least six or more as they seek refuge and protection in large groups.

In a 10g tank, you have these options:

*two female betta fish.
*only one male betta fish.
*3-4 guppies (either all male or all female, breeding gets tedious in that small of a tank) males have larger, more colourful tails as females have larger bodies with smaller, less colourful tails.
*one female betta fish and two ADF's (African dwarf frogs. They live in water.)

Good luck!

Make sure to cycle your tank first.
 
I was thinking that after I put my bobert into the 52 gallon, I would like to still use my 10 gal. It has neon gravel and reallly colorful plants. What tropical fish should i get? i was thinking a neon tetra or two and those really pretty guppies but is a guppy a tropical???? I want to find beautiful colorful fish but I don't know which ones to look for at our locol fish shop!!!! NO RUDE COMMENTS!!!!! KIDS READ THIS THING YA NO
and i would REALLY like some glofish!!!
also, I DONT WANT to breed. Unless someone thinks my tank is suitable in size! which I think its not be a 10 gal!
can you mix neon tetras and glo fish???
 
I'd get 6-8 tetras, they are real great in schools. If you want 1 larger fish you could add a pearl gourami. They aren't to big but are nice. This would be an ideal combination.
