Get dad out right now... you can wait about removing mom until you are sure she's done. She'll get lots thinner once she's done. If you see her eat a baby, then it's time to get her out too.

I would remove both from the breeder as they will sometimes eat the babies. Keep a close eye on the tank incase she has more and you can catch them to add them to the breeder net. Make sure you give the mom a nice meal after she's done, she will be hungry

I started with two guppies, and now I have about sixty. I never separated anybody, never had a breeder net. I do have floating plant cover.

THEY MAKE A HOLDER TO PUT THE MOTHER IN THAT HAS A V SHAPE TO IT SO THE BABIES GET TO THE BOTTOM, THEY ARE CHEAP TO PURCHASE, THE BABIES SHOULD BE REMOVED AFTER THEY ARE BORN THE PARENTS WILL EAT THEM.
PLANTS WORK WELL BUT THERE SHOULD BE A GOOD BUNCH IN THERE.

Watch them closely. They will start eating thier babies. Separate them soon.
