Put a male and a female together :)
Really, guppies are SUPER easy to breed. Get at least one male and two females (all get two or more females for every male), put them together in a tank (10gallons is enough) - do weekly water changes to keep the tank clean, keep the water warm (75-78F), feed high quality foods and you'll have babies in no time flat.
You can provide lots of plants in the tank, because the hungry parents will eat some of the babies. You can catch and move the babies with a net. OR you can put the mother in a breeding net so the fish can't eat the babies.
You'll want to set up another tank to care for your babies.

When I first got guppies, I started out with 3 males and 2 females. The males were red, blue, and a yellow split-tail. Now, I have hundreds of guppies--I can't get rid of them at all. Once they start breeding, they don't stop. I would make sure to put some plants and rocks in the tank though. Especially plants just floating on the top of the water because once the mommies have their babies, they will try and eat them.

OMG i use to have like two or three guppies and then i ended up with tons of them . I also hated seeing the little ones get eaten so i always have to save them. I ended up with a tank full of babie guppies....lol. They grew up and mated with each other and i got tons more....they just do it on their own i guess...

DON'T worry about breeding guppies.Guppies & Mollies are
2 of the most prolific breeders that you can have in a fish tank!
To a point of being a real pain in the butt.
