I recently just got rid of my guppies and i have a lone baby. I keep it with my neons in my 10gal and all i do is crush up the food( flakes) and feed my fish. Its grown quite a bit. Livebearers( such as guppies) have tough young. The babies are hardy and easy to keep.

Here is lots of info: http://www.ifga.org/guppy_beginners.htm

If your guppies bred once, they'll breed again, so you're likely to be overrun with fry at some point. Depending on what else is in the tank, they may eat some of the fry...not a bad thing really, since guppies tend to overbreed. If you want to raise them in a separate tank, a 10 gallon will suffice, it needs to be filtered and kept a tropical temperature like any other aquarium.

If you leave the fry in your current tank, provide some extra hiding places with live plants and just feed crushed flake, micro pellets and other fine foods.
