I use a 2 gallon jar with an airstone. I cram the bottom full of plants and then float some plants on the top as well leaving a space in the middle for the pregnant fish. Most of the fry fall down into the plants below and the particularly brave fry that venture to the top are hidden by the floating plants. I got 60-70 fry just this morning using this method.

This is probably the most commonly used type of breeding trap but as Guppy fry are so small, I can't guarantee that they won't escape through the slits. I don't know if they make one that's Guppy fry proof...

them traps are perfect for all fry, even endlers.

if you dont want to be over run with fry you might be best to let them give birth in the tank
if not the marina fry traps are perfect i have used these for some of the guppy fry if i have bred 2 specific types and want to keep all the fry
the fry do not escape from it - i always put an airstone in aswell
i got the 2 in one
they are available at all good LFS and ebay they float which is perfect
