Will guppies follow your finger?
They nibble on your fingers, but they are so small that their bites don’t hurt. Leave your hand in the tank long enough for your skin to get soft, though, and the guppies can begin to inflict damage.
Why do guppies die so fast?
The most common reason for guppies dying in your aquarium is the poor water quality. With feeding your fish you actually pollute the water in your tank. Guppies produce waste (they poop and pee), which is polluting the water. Overtime the pollution can become so high, that the guppies will get intoxicated and will die.

Even territorial conflicts are usually avoided, because you don’t want your animals to die, do you? No, not in and of themselves.
