No. Guppies are tropical fish and require a heater. 1.5 gal isn't really enough room from much of anything. You could keep a betta in 1.5gal but the do better in a larger tank and they would need a heater. Also without filtration you would need do do water changes at least every other day if not daily

You can't keep ANY fish in a 1.5 gallon bowl - a 5 gallon tank is an absolute minimum and then the only thing you could keep in it is a *guppy.
EDIT:
*Sorry, I meant to say betta. Guppies need to be kept in a ratio of 2 or 3 females to every male and need a 12 gallon tank.

a million.5 gallons is slightly small, fairly in spite of the fact that if it extremely is a bowl quite than an oblong tank as bowls have much less floor section for gasoline replace. i does not shop a betta in something that small different than as a non everlasting diploma, you are able to in all hazard shop a betta alive in a field like that yet I doubt that it could thrive. in case you do elect to get one besides you will choose no less than a bubbler, filter out and a small heater, and you will additionally ought to do conventional, small water ameliorations and actual shop a watch on water high quality. Small tanks are puzzling to maintain, the two you and the fish could be happier with a larger tank. Edit: Ten gallons must be high-quality, and that they love having flowers to sit down down back on and swim around. Silk or genuine flowers are high-quality yet beware of plastic flowers with sharp or pointy edges, they could rip fins. in case you purely positioned flowers interior the bowl it extremely is going to be high-quality and not employing a bubbler as long as there are no longer too many flowers.

No fish should live in a bowl. You need filtration and heat to successfully keep guppies. The size is big enough for a couple of them if you have the above.

The rule of thumb is:
1 inch of freshwater fish per gallon of water...maximum.
Only if filtration is involved. Fish should not live in bowls...ever!

you cannot possibly keep a fish for any extended period of time in a bowl. fish need a filter, and tropicals like guppys need a heater.

Yes, if the water temperature can be maintained at between 18 - 28 degrees C day and night. Put a layer of gravel in the bottom and a water plant or two (real or plastic) and don't overfeed it.
