What should I do with the baby guppy?
I saw a tiny baby guppy in my tank yesterday. She disappeared under a rock, but I'm worried that she'll get eaten by the other fish. We have a good amount of plants and a large sunken ship, so there are probably some good places to hide. Should I try to find the baby guppy and move her to another tank or a breeding tank for safety? Or just leave her be? (I don't even know if she's alive still--I haven't seen her since yesterday).

My friend's guppies had a load of babies. Most of them got eaten before she knew about them. If your little one is staying hidden on her own, great! If she shows up and you can catch her, you can keep her in the same tank, but in a net. No need for a separate tank. My friend did that until her guppies grew large enough to be with the adults.

We breed guppies and I can tell you if she has made it this long with what you have in the tank for hiding then she will be just fine. Guppies are very resourceful. Good luck.

It is quite possible that she was eaten, but it as also possible that she's just hiding, tucked away somewhere until she's big enough to venture out.
I would not bother looking for her, as you might completely tear the tank apart and not even find her; however, you could keep a net by your tank and if you do see her, catch her; they aren't hard to catch when they're that small.

I would just leave the guppy in there.
