Just 2 fry?

So my female guppy gave birth today, i wasnt there to see it though. I only noticed 2 little fry swimming around the breeding tank, BIG dissaspointment. the male was in there too so he might be the culprit. I took him out and put the female into a breeder box, and she hasnt given birth to any more fry since, so what should i do? should i leave her in there?

well guppy fry can hide pretty good, so dont worry, if the female still looks big she proubably still has the fry in her, they can drop as many fry at once as they want she might hold her fry longer not thinkg it was safe.If she still looks pump she is most likly still carrying them, do you have any java moss or baby hide out grasss,, java moss is live and nomraly cheap or free at Lfs, baby hideout grass can normaly be found in the fake plant section, that will keep your fry safe from the parent eating them. and also this could be one of the female guppies first birth, normaly every time they give birth there are more and more babies this could be one of the first times so she could only have had 4 or 5 and they could have gotten eaten or hiding., dont get to stressed out
