If my guppy gave birth, where would they might hide?

I have a 10 gal. tank and was wondering if they would hide in fake plants, really plants, or near the bottom where there are rocks...

    They need to be separated from the adults as soon as they are born as adult fish will eat them. In their separate tank they will find shelter in live floating plants that will also help provide bacteria and food for them to grow. Once they are free swimming and large enough to eat regular fish food you can add them back into the tank with the adult fish. Provided you aren't overstocking your tank of course.
