Breeding With 2 Tanks

any good advise on breeding guppies with a 10gal 5gal and 2.5 gal tanks?

I keep my adults in the main tank which is 95L/20G. When a female is pregnant and I don't have fry in the fry tank which is 64L, I move the female to that tank when she's about 1-2 weeks along, this way she doesn't get stressed and can swim about happily. I find that they adapt really well and don't appear stressed. I have had many a female die in a breeding trap. Once she's had them I put her back into the main tank. 
If you are going to do this, I would advise moving the female as early as possible once you know that she is pregnant. This will avoid her aborting the babies. 
If I have fry in the fry tank I let the mum have the babies in the main tank and scoop them out with a plastic cup and put them in the fry tank. I keep my fry tank temp high at around 28 degrees, I feed them 3-4 times a day and do daily water changes of around 10% to keep the water clean. They grow very fast and I usually put them into the main tank at around 3 weeks old. 
It's really up to you and whatever works for yourself. Just remember and keep the fry tank in tip top condition.

I used to watch my females and know when they were about to drop their fry within 12 hours therefore I would move them to my baby growing up tank (60l) and once they had finished giving birth I would transfer them back to the main tank. But now I just leave them in the main tank to give birth and catch the newborn fry once she has finished. This way it has eliminated any deformed fry growing up. Only the strongest would survive for the day they were in the main tank. It seems to be working so far
