We would always put them in one of those little in-tank breeder things. It's plastic and slotted at the bottom so the babies can fall into it. We then kept them in there until they were big enough to swim in the tank with the rest of them. Then again, you really don't have to "try" to ensure the survival of baby guppies... they just make it somehow. You'll be up to your ears in no time with the little things :)

It takes about 21-28 days for Guppies to produce fry. During this time, i would make sure that there are plenty of spaces with hiding spots and plenty of plant material. A great plant to use is hornwort. It floats on top and gives a place for the fry to hide. Do not use those breeder boxes, they always stress out the females and in long run have them die or cause the fry to be aborted.
