Answer
Hi,
Kigsizeis breed like any other cichlid, they pair off and lay and protect their eggs. All you need is a male, a femal, some decorations to spawn on, and they'll do the rest.

Your plan with the male guppies would work out just fine, and female guppies appear very large and show a black spot near the vent when they are gravid.
