pretty much!
 
Guppies are VERY easy to breed! Just get males and females in the same tank and they will almost always breed! Before you know it you will have more than you know what to do with!
 
put 1 male then 2 or 3 females. then add water. :D
 
with guppies I have found they breed faster if you dig pits into the gravel bed and lower the ammount of time they get light

you will get more fry if you get some floating plants to cover the top of the tank thus providing hiding space for the fry as female's will eat thier own young rapidly after releasing them
 
Well good luck, sounds like you'll need it to get this difficult task done!!!

LOL. They'll also drop fry once a month.
 
Like everyone says...get a male and a few females , add water, and watch for a a dark spot behind the belly of the female (that means it's about ready to give birth). Separate the pregnant female and when she gives birth remove her or the babies will be lunch.
 
my gupps bred just 3 days ago. and theres no way i can seperate the frys and the other fishes in my 10gal planted tank so i just prayed for their safety...
ive been watching them... and ive seen some fish tries to eat or nip at them but i noticed they are really fast avoiding the attacks... so far my 20+ frys are still there along with 8gupps(4male4female) 10neon tetras, 8 feeder platties...
in conclusion, in my personal observation and experience.. the frys can take care of themselve pretty much (thats on a planted tank k?) :)
some pics to share... some frys ussually hang out on the top of the tank. hehe.. i guess those are the brave ones.
