I would advise seperating those two because Ive had one female eat the other's babies as they were born... that breeder box should have came with a little divider...

Question Re: How long til my Guppies Give Birth (video)?

yes, it does have a tank divider.
I woke up today with my guppies missing and 2 snails in there place. I have a feeling the apple snail tipped it when getting in and the guppies swam out. Do you think I could keep one in a 3 gallon tank with marbles and the other in a breeder box?
Thx

yeah, putting one in a tank by itself is a better idea anyways... less stressful for the female... try putting some floating plants in there too.

Floating plants or marbles will work for isolating the fry from the female.
