Guppy fry survival rate?
I currently have a 20L planted tank (the plants have been there for 2 weeks and are still growing out) with some neon tetras and some guppies. Currently three of my female guppies are pregnant and close to giving birth. However I'm not interested in breeding them at the moment maybe in a few months. What is the likely hood that any of my guppy fry will reach adult hood out of three pregnancies?
By 20L i mean a 20 gallon long. By no means am i keeping them in a 20 liter
I also don't want a bunch of fry i was just courious what people would think. I thought out of 3 mothers i might end up getting a few survivors because of how planted my tanks is but i don't need more fry

I would upgrade to a 40 liter. 20 is too small for neons. Most people recommend 70 liters for a school of neons.
In this tank, I would leave the babies in the tank. Your tank is well enough stocked (frankly overstocked if it is 20 liters) they'll all get eaten.
If the tank is a 20 long then some of the fry might live, but probably only one or two.
In my 55 gallon I have a 0% survival rate for both guppies and baby snails due to my angelfish being a pig and eating them all. My molly sure doesn't help any, either.
