Default baby guppies placement

hey i have a 5 gallon and 20 gallon setup, my guppies had babies a few days ago and they r in a plastic floating container and i put all my fish in 20 gallon except the 2 female guppies and the babies, i am going 2 release the babies into the 5 gallon, but should i move the 2 females 2 the 20 gallon or keep them in tank with babies?
p.s. i think one of females is close to giving birth

I would move the mom into your other tank and keep the mom to be in the 5 gal. If you don't have any plants (real or fake), I would add some so the babies have places to hide in case the mom to be gets hungry.
