I would get your new babies at least a 20 gallon tank. Or, two ten gallon tanks and put half of them in each. For small community fish like yours, you need one gallon of water per inch of fish. Guppies get to be about an inch long as adults. Baby guppies dowell in small spaces a quart jar is fine to keep them from being eaten by their parents. You can by little tanks within tanks to put in your larger tank. These allow the babies aireated water and keep them part of the community without becomoning a meal. In general fish will grow to fit the space they have.
