There are nets and plastic containers you put in your tank and place the pregnant female in prior to birth. The plastic containers have a slotted plate where the newborn fry fall through into a bottom compartment, thus keeping them from getting eaten by the mother. Note some of the fry are strong swimmers and will not fall through or will find a way to swim back up into the same area of the mother. There are also more advanced plastic nurseries where the newborn are sucked through a tube into a separate compartment completely away from the mother fish.

You have two pregnant guppies and you put them in a different tank with gravel and a stachue now what do you do?
You should have a birthing container that allows the babies to drift down into a lower compartment so the mother does not eat them. They are inexpensive and you can get them at any pet store. You should also ask about fish food for the new guppies.
Should you only keep one pregnant guppy in a birthing tank or can you have more because I have three pregnant guppies so should I put two of them in the community tank and one in the birthing tank?
I had a problem like this, a couple of fish pregnant at the same time. I would either keep them all the female guppies in the birthing tank or keep them in the community tank and when one of the female guppies give birth put the baby in the birthing tank. I did the second option and it was quite good, just don't overcrowd the birthing tank. :)

Will algae eaters last more than a day in a plastic container?
That depends on the size of the fish and the size of the container. It is the build up of ammonia and depletion of oxygen that kills fish under these conditions. It is possible to keep some small fish alive in a small container for a while but use your common sense and observe the fish. If you see them stressing, change some water.
