I'm not 100% positive, but i've heard that guppies can tolerate lower temps, so maybe if placed in a warmish room you wouldn't have to worry about heaters?

Nature will take it's course and by the time you find the fry, the adults may have eaten some!

ETA: Just read that the lowest acceptable temp is 23C/74F

they will do fine anywhere between 15 - 28c but at 15 they will take 2+ months to have babies and at 28c it will be less than a month. they babies will be alot healthing at about 18c because they have longer to develop.

thats defiently a female but looks a little to small to breed yet. the other 2 are males. you neeed to get a few more females because you need 2 females to every male.
