For now, make as many hiding places as possible for them. As for food, usually they feed on the little bits of flake that sink down to the bottom that the other fish miss, but I'm sure they can feed on other stuff like algae too, seeing as they're only tiny!

there is many hiding places but i have tiny golden danios, that are small enough to get through thos hiding places, will they leave the fry?

I have guppy's and have never separated my fry from my adult fish. They are usually quite fast and good at hiding - also if you do not want to have lots and lots of babies (like i have) then i would leave them and let nature take its course. Also in regards to feeding them i usually feed my fish as normal and then really crush up some food into a powder and then put that in for the fry.

For my baby guppies mollies and swords; I give them crushed flake, frozen baby brine shrimp, and some mashed hard boiled egg yoke. I feed them about 4 to 5 times a day and 2 water changes a week, it works for me. Java moss well also give the little ones a lot of hiding places, bit it does grow fast so it well cover your tank if you don’t trim. Good luck
