Wow, there is so much wrong with this thread.
dunedain05, if you are testing the water then you should post the results. this may help.
also 3 plants in a 10 g tank usually does not constitute a 'heavily ' planted tank .(there are cases where the OP is referring to species and not actual counts..like a large bundle of anacharis, wisteria and carpet plants covering the bottom of the tank) Moss balls are not that great at removing much of anything. and 10 little guppies may or may not add much in terms of nutrients for any plants you have that could be removing said nutrients.
the problem may have been the stock you had gotten.. if new they may very well have had issues when you got them. the babies may not exhibit the same issues.
also many juvenile fish seem to do better at handling stress than the adults. often the case with juvenile angels and discus which tend to handle transport better than the adults.
again, we don't have much to go on to assist you.
maybe you can 'help us to help you' by giving us a little more info about your set up water parameters, maint schedule , pictures of the set up .
etc
