Hello jul...

Female Guppies are mature at 3 months and males at 6. So, if you have fish this age and together, then nature can take over, provided the water conditions are clean enough.

I would introduce some floating plants like Hornwort or Anacharis, to provide hiding places for the female and eventually the fry. Keep the tank water clean by changing half or so every week.

Feed a balanced diet of a little if flaked, freeze dried and frozen every day and the fish and plants will take care of themselves.
