What kind of fish are you talking about? Tank size? What do you plan on using for filtration? Heater? Is it cycled? Etc...?

Other than that 1:3 is best.

They would be until the babies come, then you will quickly run out of room. Each female can have dozens of fry each month.

I would suggest a 10gal. just because when your friends no longer want more Guppies, then your tank will be big enough to allow the fry to grow large enough to sell to your lfs.
