To care for pregnant guppies, a few things are needed. A segregation tank is needed to keep the parents from eating the fry. Also, keep baby brine shrimp and other suitable foods on hand to feed the fry, and keep the tank very clean.

Luckily you won't have to do a thing at all. They are the easiest fish to breed and rare. You can however buy a breeding net, to ensure that the babies are not eaten by the parents. As well as provide sufficient plants, fake or real, that gives the babies a chance to hide.
