The thing to keep in mind about guppies is that they are basically always pregnant. They will breed in even the most appalling conditions. If you want to keep the babies, you can put the pregnant female into a breeding net until she gives birth, then remove her. Place some floating plants, such as hornwort, in the breeding net with her, so the babies will have a place to hide so she doesn't eat them all before you remove her. You'll know she's "in labor" when they start popping out. In my opinion, its a good idea to just leave things as they are, with the females in the tank, add a few fine plants, and you'll probably eventually end up with some survivors. If they all survive every time, you won't know what to do with them all.
