Please dont eat them

Im just wondering would a 1.5" zebra danio or a 2" guppie eat any of my 2 month old baby guppies because i need to put them in the same tank and they are about to pop

It depends how large they are now. I know that all the livebearers I have spawned have eaten their young almost imediately after they have been born unless I isolate them in a breeding trap.

they are about 1cm up to about 3 cm altogether what ya think im only goin to put the fish in to they give birth and then take them out again what ya think

Well ... 1-3cm sounds fairly large to me. I can't see that there'd be a problem. best thing to do would be to introduce them and see if they try anything and be ready to with a net if they do. but I really can't see them eating a fish that size, they only have small mouths.

I just put the fish in the breeder tank and the danio is goin for the babys but dosnt seem to be eating any will this cause them to get stressed and die or will they be ok
