You should be able to have about 8 or 10 in a 10 gallon tank. As long as you have males and females together in a well maintained tank they will breed. I haven't done a lot of guppy breeding so I am not sure when the fry can start breeding.
 
I believe guppies reach maturity around 3 months but the broods will be small. The will have more babies as the breeders get bigger.
