Do Guppies Eat Their Own Babies

[Ace Of Spades]

It Drawing Nearer and Nearer to the date when my friend takes his fish off my hand, and I just wondered If I bred Guppies in a 15 Gallon by them selves would the adults eat their young?

Could I use Sand as a substrate?

and Finally, is well planted or a bare aquarium betteR?
