How many guppies and shrimp can I put in a 10 gallon tank?

An adult guppy can reach up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), without counting their tail fins. So in 10 gallons of water you could place roughly 7 adult guppies (10 gallon / 1.5 inches = 6.66). I would not recommend adding more than 10 guppies in a 10 gallons aquarium, if you are just starting out.
