Help Please... 5 very gravid guppies

[s6king]

I have 5 gravid guppies are all within a few days of having fry...except for one is already having them. I have 2 fry right now. I watched them for 5 hours and no more fry but all are still looking very gravid. How can I figure our which one is having fry with out disturbing them? I have 8 fish in there and don't want the fry to become dinner. I do have a breeder plant in there but the 2 fry that were there were not using it. I removed them and acclimated them in to a 2.5 gallon tank. I was worried about my bio filter sucking them up I lost 1 fish and one frog in it already. Should I turn that off and just use my airstone?

just have to watch what ones getting thinner....
for the fry getting sucked up put panty hose over the hole
Don't turn it off

Hope this helped

u should get a breeder net if u dont already have one and keep em in there keep some gravel not completely covering the bottom or put a fake plant

I have breeder net and breeder plants but need to know which one is the mom so I could put her in the net so I can have an easier time moving the fry to the other tank ( sounds like i am lazy but I figure the fry are safer in a different tank and figure out which one is mom would make it easier to put the fry in the net (put her in there and some plants and then take her out when shes done) but no...my fish are just like real kids...making things hard on me (lol)
