Nobody who has answered this question has addressed the fact the the guppy is a tropical fish and requires temps in the range of 72-78 degrees F. and the goldfish is a coldwater fish that requires temps in the range of 60-65 degrees F.
Keeping either in the other's temp range will cause stress and ultimately compromise the immune system resulting in their eventual death.
That said, only the guppy would be OK in a tank that small. You would need a small wattage heater and a filter too. The goldfish will need at least a 5 gallon tank until it starts growing and then you will have to upgrade to larger tanks. It also needs a filter, but no heater.

Sorry, they are going to be stunted. you're able to desire to cycle too, notwithstanding in case you have the right tank length, in case you do no longer cycle they'll probable die from ammonia poisoning. A single easy goldfish would get stunted even in a 20 gallon, on account that's no longer the minimum. certainly the minimum tank length for a single easy goldfish ks 55+ gallons. those fish can advance 14 inches. In ponds people have had then advance 24 inches. then you upload yet another 20 gallons for the different easy. So there is 75+ gallons for you. it may be ultimate to enable them to pass interior the pond.

No because fist of all guppies are tropical fish and need warm water while goldfish need colder water nd will not survive properly. Also 2 gallons isn't a real tank get areal one and get a ten gallon tank. Wher the the fish will actually be happy. also keep the goldfish in another ten gallon tank and not a crappy bowl. Please?

No, goldfish's skin puts off a layer of funk that gets the water nasty and makes it hard on other fish. Not to mention a guppy is a tropical fish, which means filtered water and a heater.

DO you mean fancy guppies coz i know they are tropical and gold fish are cold water so they aren't really compatable also pregnant guppies need a higher temp and when the guppy has the fry (the babies) both will eat them overall i would say it is not a good match!

no.
a goldfish needs 10 gallons minimum as a baby, 20 gallons minimum as they grow up.
a pregnant guppy needs 10 gallon heated tank minimum, those babies would die in a tank that small and not grow properly.
if kept together, the goldfish would not only eat the baby guppies, but would pose a threat to the mother as well. thats if the waste from both fish (predominantly the goldfish) and entirely different tank requirements, don't kill them first.

A lot of misinformation here. Guppies can and are cold water tropical fish. They are also, warm water, salt and brackish water.
The two gallon tank is too small for your gold fish but is fine for your guppies. Even with babies and does not require a heater.

The goldfish is going to quickly out grow your two gallon tank. I would not recommend that tank size.

Is the goldfish the same size as the guppy? If it is then, the goldfish will might eat the babies or the goldfish might eat the guppy.

Goldfish should not kept in anything less than a 10g tank, preferably larger.
