Pregnant Guppys in Birthing Tank

[davidtorres_]

I have a 10g birthing tank and it currently houses a pregnant guppy. I have another pregnant guppy in my 38g tank and was wondering if it would be a bad idea to have both pregnant guppies in the birthing tank because they might stress eachother out and everything. I want most of the guppy fry to live. Please help.

I was also wondering what other plants I could use in the birthing tank. I only have Java moss tied to rocks and some floating anacharis. I would prefer plants that are really easy to take care of and minimal needs. Thank you.

I'm in the same boat here - I have 2 pregnant guppies in a 15 gallon and I'm not sure whether to chance any fry surviving if left as is or if I should try to separate them in breeding boxes :-/ We got the females exactly 28 days ago and I think they were "pre-loaded" so they could drop any day now or it could be another week yet - I can't watch them round the clock! Never bred guppies before so I'm not exactly sure what the "squared off" look is - I thought they had it last week but no sign of any babies yet. Oh and I just have a few small plastic plants in and a little rock/cave structure.
