Answers:

Unless it's a fish bowl. You really shouldn't be cleaning the tank that often. I change the water about every 6 months or so. You also need to make sure there isn't a lot of stress in the water, amonia blah blah blah, you should be able to go to Petsmart or any pet store and ask the person in that department about what water treatment is good etc...

I think the reason for your fish dying is from cleaning the tank too much. and not taking care of the water.

Guppies are really sensative. The water has to be perfect. The reasons for them not breeding is DEFINATELY from the tank being changed all the time. That is affecting the water temp//balance etc.

Guppies can be very sensitive.

It depends entirely on how large your tank is and how many fish you're trying to put in it. It also depends on if there's any spots/bumps/bruises/etc on the fish. Where are you getting these guys?

Toss me an email and I'm sure we can clear this up.

It's possible your tank is TOO clean. If you have live plants, I don't believe it is necessary for you to change your water every week. Your plants do what changing the water does, so your almost double dipping and making the water unliveable for fish. Skip a week or two on changing your water and see what happens.
