Hey guys, I need some help. A few days ago, my female guppy gave birth to many fries (about 15 or so). I put a lot of hiding spots (rocks and plants) for the fries (I think).
Now, the problem is, I see that one of my glassfish is intentionally waiting near the rocks where the fries hide and try to eat them.
Should I take the fries to a separate tank or leave it be??? Or should I take the glassfishes to another tank??? Cuz the only one that smart enough to eat 'em is just the glassfish.

I put some photos of the tank and fishes
Tank: 56 Liters
Fish: 5 neon tetras, 5 glassfishes, 5 female guppies, 6 male guppies, 10 lampeye killifishes, 3 algae eater catfish, 1 bangkok algae eater, 1 mouse fish, and the fries

Guppies will drop hundreds of fry, having 1 fish eating some is a good thing in the long run. Otherwise, too many fry growing out will overcrowd the tank, and guppies are so common they're not particularly valuable in general.
