Is it a good idea to remove pregnant fish from the community tank moved to another aquarium or spawning ground with skat or aquatic plants to prevent the guppy fish from being eaten by the mother so that we are calm and worried about waiting for the guppy fish to give birth.

Don't forget to prepare a place again because after the children are born the mother can be moved to a quarantine place for a recovery period before being returned to the original aquarium We just have to wait for the moment when the guppies give birth to a very interesting event to be able to see it because it is rare to get the right moment when the guppies give birth to their children directly, I myself rarely see it directly. Hope it is useful.
