I am pretty sure that 2 of my guppies are pregnant, not sure how long till they drop. I didnt get them for breeding but as guppies are such prolific breeders it was inevitable. What i want to know is, should i let nature take its coarse and let them give birth in the tank or should i separate them? i dont really have the space to move them to another tank and since its only a 60l tank it isnt big enough for too many fish. i might cover the external filter inlet with a some mesh to prevent the fry being sucked up but other then that i am not sure what else i should do... the tanks community consists of: 3 female and 3 male guppies, 4 cardinal tetras, 4 black neon tetras and a lonesome danio (wich i might move to my large tank..
 
your best to leave them to produce in your tank and the strogest quickest guppy fry will survive the danios and some female/male guppies will eat the fry that are deformed, too slow or too small :) Good luck
 
Well u could find out when there going to drop there fry and put them in a breeder trap
