Stocking ideas 8 gal tank

If only guppies, I would go for maybe 8-10.. if your water change schedule and water conditions say it's fine (as always, follow test results) if you have thriving plants, then possibly more.

But follow test results to know, and don't slack on water changes if you stock on the heavy side.

thanks. As it is a teenage girl and her first tank I will tell her to start with 2 see how she goes. If she does ok then put more in. I don't know if she will be going down the plant route. Personally I would but not my tank.

An African Dwarf Frog maybe fun, and a Nerite snail as a scavenger?
 
I would get maybe 4 male guppies or so (6?). They can be a bit
"boisterous", not to say aggressive, they just always want to breed with...well, anything, lol.
 
pea puffers perfect tank for 2-3 planted a bit with some otos and some shrimp on the bottom maybe a few cherry barbs
