Fish hiding

I'm still overfeeding from excitement today from the new arrivals and hungry baby guppies typing with damp fingers. The male and one of the females from the one tank are both determined to stay hidden under the grass mat, I just disturbed everyone trying to coax them out again just now but they went right back to it. The other female and most of the babies are all over the tank. At least now I can see the male hiding along the back edge. The females gone deep again. There's a side view and a front view.

Unfortunately both of the hiders have passed. The albino blue topaz ribbon female I could never find out in the open I suspect was the mother of all the babies in the shipping bag was found dead under the mat last night and the Blue Grass female that went straight to the bottom gasping crawled under the grass and stated spitting out babies that appeared a bit preemie was found dead this morning. The two tanks now have a pair in each plus babies instead of trios. The other tub has a quad with the extra female Purple dragon female looking fine. Seller on E-Bay hasn't responded to any of the messages yet requesting a price to have 2 more females shipped so I can take some of the pressure off the sole surviving ones from the trios. That Blue Grass male in particular appears to be a real incessant horndog.
